Pope Leo XIV asks that dignity of immigrants be respected in speech

Pope Leo XIV, in his first speech to the diplomats of the world in the Vatican, said on Friday (16) that the dignity of migrants must be respected, while appealing to nations to suspend the production of weapons and prioritize peace efforts.

The pontiff described himself as an “immigrant descendant” and called for compassion and solidarity with the displaced ones.

Leo XIV also took advantage of his speech to reaffirm the traditional teaching of the church about marriage, stating that it is a “stable union between a man and a woman” and emphasizing the importance of the family as the basis for harmony in society.
