Vaticano: Papa exorta cristãos a deixar de lado «as queixas e as calúnias», promovendo correção fraterna

In brief

Pope Leo XIV urged Catholics in Vatican City on September 6, 2026, to reject slander and instead practice communal fraternal correction. He called on Christians to commit to forgiveness to help pastoral communities overcome conflicts and problems.

The Pope stated that while complaining and slandering are easier paths, they do not produce positive results. He encouraged believers to build fraternal communities through these practices.
