People lose it as newly elected Pope Leo
Pope Leo XIV, recently appointed as the head of the Catholic Church, took to Twitter to share a series of messages addressing global conflicts. In his tweets, the 69-year-old former Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost emphasized peace, quoting previous popes and urging people to embrace the spiritual heritage of the Christian East. He condemned ongoing violence and war, describing them as horrors that should provoke outrage, and stressed that true peace is not merely the absence of conflict but a gift that fosters reconciliation, forgiveness, and courage.
Pope Leo also highlighted that the Holy See remains open to facilitating negotiations amid global conflicts, including those in Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, and Syria. He firmly stated that war is never inevitable and called for dialogue instead of hostility, emphasizing that weapons only intensify problems rather than resolve them. His messages, advocating for peace and unity, have resonated widely on social media, where his new account quickly gained 18.5 million followers, with many praising his call for harmony.
