CWN Editor's Note: In a brief exchange with journalists on July 20, Pope Leo XIV said that the world “can no longer tolerate war.”
“There is so much conflict, so many wars,” he said. “We must truly work for peace, pray with trust in God, but also work” toward peace.
Referring to his phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Pope Leo spoke of the “need to protect the sacred places of all religions,” as well as to work with “respect for people” to end “so much violence, so much hatred, so many wars.”
