Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com In a world wounded by arrogance, people hunger and thirst for justice. We must encourage those who believe in peace and dare to engage in "countercurrent" politics, which focus on the common good. What is urgently needed is the courage of new visions and an educational pact that gives young people space and trust. #ApostolicJourney #EquatorialGuinea vatican.va/content/leo-xi... 8:31 AM • 4/21/26 • 142K Views
Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com The rapid technological evolution we are witnessing has accelerated speculative behavior in search of raw materials. This shift seems to overshadow fundamental imperatives such as the safeguarding of creation, the rights of local communities, the dignity of labor, and the protection of public health. I thus renew the appeal of Pope Francis, who passed away exactly one year ago: "Today we also have to say 'thou shalt not' to an economy of exclusion and inequality. Such an economy kills." 8:31 AM • 4/21/26 • 32K Views
Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com Even more than in the past, it is clear today that the proliferation of armed conflicts is often driven by the exploitation of oil and mineral deposits, with no regard for international law or the self-determination of peoples. 8:31 AM • 4/21/26 • 58K Views
Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com Without a change of direction in the assumption of political responsibility, and without respect for institutions and international agreements, humanity's destiny risks being tragically compromised. God does not want this. His holy Name must not be profaned by the desire for domination, arrogance, or discrimination. Above all, it must never be invoked to justify death-dealing choices and actions. 8:31 AM • 4/21/26 • 57K Views
