Pope Leo XIV: ‘My heart bleeds for Ukraine, Gaza and the Middle East’

Vatican City, June 26 (LaPresse) – “My heart bleeds when I think of Ukraine, of the tragic and inhumane situation in Gaza, and of the Middle East, devastated by the spread of war.

We are all — as humanity — called to examine the causes of these conflicts, to identify the true ones and seek to overcome them, and to reject the false ones, born of emotional manipulation and rhetoric, and to unmask them with determination.

People must not die because of fake news.”

This was stated by Pope Leo XIV during an audience with participants of the Plenary Assembly of the Reunion of Aid Agencies for the Oriental Churches (ROACO).
