The world is in a state of deep crisis
During his address to the Spanish Parliament, the pontiff emphasized that the modern world faces massive challenges.
"The world is undergoing a profound spiritual and cultural crisis, which manifests itself in numerous forms of violence, polarization, and mutual distrust. Weapons may impose a temporary silence, but they will never be able to build true and lasting peace," he said.
The Pope also expressed concern over rising military spending in European countries. He called on politicians to focus on ending wars and supporting people who are forced to flee their homes.
Calls for accountability and safety
The pontiff also emphasized the importance of supporting migrants. He called on nations to address the root causes of forced migration, including war, poverty, and climate change.
In addition, the Pope drew attention to the issue of artificial intelligence. He called for strict ethical oversight, particularly in the military sphere.
Earlier, Pope Leo XIV called on Russia to return to negotiations with Ukraine.
