First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV joined the International Meeting for Peace in Assisi, an event organized by the Community of Sant'Egidio. The meeting, titled "Disarmed and Disarming Peace," began on October 25 and concludes on October 27.

The gathering commemorates the 40th anniversary of the prayer meeting for peace established by Pope John Paul II in 1986. The opening assembly took place at the UmbriaFiere complex in Bastia Umbria. The program includes forums, meetings, and roundtables featuring international figures to discuss global conflicts and the role of religions in addressing disputes.

During the assembly, participants renewed calls for religious leaders to accept responsibility in facing international tensions and radicalization. Cardinal Matteo Maria Zuppi and other figures also addressed the media regarding the meeting's objectives.
