CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV told a June 26 audience that the struggle against drug trafficking is a “battle that cannot be abandoned as long as, around us, anyone is still imprisoned in the various forms of addiction.”
The Pope was speaking to participants in in the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. He remarked that the occasion “brings us to the heart of the Jubilee” year, which emphasized the hope brought by Christ and the dignity of every human life.
“Our fight is against those who make their immense business out of drugs and every other addiction—think of alcohol or gambling,” the Pope said.
