First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV called for an end to hostilities in Yemen and for the guarantee of peace for all people during his address following the Angelus prayer on Sunday, October 25. The pope specifically noted the severe humanitarian crisis in the city of Taiz.

In his remarks, the pope also prayed for the victims and wounded of a recent attack on an Orthodox Church in Jordan. He stated that wars sow death and impoverish and damage the world.

The pope invited the faithful to join in prayer with religious leaders and heads of churches meeting in Assisi on October 27. This gathering marks the 40th anniversary of the interreligious meeting originally convened by Saint John Paul II.
