Pope Leo XIV: Angelus Address on October 25, 2026

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV called for dialogue and peace during the Angelus on Sunday, October 25. His appeal coincided with the start of the international meeting "Disarmed and Disarming Peace" in Assisi, organized by the Community of Sant'Egidio.

The meeting, which runs until Tuesday, October 27, brings together representatives from major religions, civil society, and various institutions. This gathering follows the historic day of prayer convened by Pope John Paul II on October 27, 1986.

Cardinal Matteo Maria Zuppi, president of the Italian Episcopal Conference, spoke to Vatican media during the event. He noted that the challenges have changed and emphasized the need for religions to offer signals of peace. He described the role of religions as disarming hearts and credited the work of Pope John Paul II for enabling such encounters.
