Pope Leo XIV urged the release of jailed journalists as Zelancesi invites Ukraine world news
Pope Leo XIV called for the release of journalists involved in jail on Monday and urged reporters to use words that hate the fan, as Volodimir Zelancesi of Ukraine invited him to a war -torn country.Leo, the first American leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics, organized his introductory audience with journalists in the Vatican, four days after the Pope was elected by Cardinals.After using its first address last Thursday to call for peace around the world, Leo returned to the theme on Monday, stating that Shanti began with communication.He said, “We all dismiss the prejudice and resentment, bigotry and even the communication of hatred, freeing us from aggression,” he said.He said, “Remove the words and we will help in neutralizing the world.”He offered solidarity with journalists, “imprisoned to seek and report the truth” and called them to free.Reporters Bidout Borders (RSF) Media Advocacy Group welcomed his comment as a “strong sign” for media professionals worldwide.“When 567 media professionals are still imprisoned worldwide, we ask Pope Leo XIV to support unjustly persecuted journalists, especially from coming to jail during every official visit,” the RSF leader said in a statement.As the new Pope was speaking, Ukrainian President Zelancesi revealed that he had invited the new Pontiff to Ukraine in his first phone call.“This type of journey will bring real hope for all our believers for all our people,” Zelansky said in a post on social media. Leo appealed for “real, just and permanent peace” in Ukraine as he welcomed the crowd from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica on Sunday.His predecessor Pope Francis, who died at the age of 88 last month, was repeatedly called for peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but never visited the country.Leo also echoed Argentina’s words by calling on Sunday for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, to free all the hostages and humanitarian aid was sent to Gaza, concluding: “No more war!”
Divided world
Vishal Paul VI of Vatican at Monday’s audience, where the Pope shook hands and exchanged some words with gathered journalists, but did not question, kicked his first week as a Catholic leader.On Friday, they will have an audience for foreign diplomats, followed by an opening mass at St. Peter Square on Sunday, expecting thousands of pilgrims to attract.The next week will be seen on May 21, the first general audience of Leo, usually a regular scheduled schedule for the Pope on Wednesday. On May 24, he will meet with Roman Curia, on which he presides over, see the government of powerful top officials and heads of the department holy. The world is still aware of the modest and soft -spoken Pontiff born in Chicago, who spent most of his life in the priest as a missionary in Peru, where he holds another citizenship.Prior to making him a cardinal in 2023, Francis assigned Leo under the leadership of the powerful decostry of the bishop, which advises Pontif on bishop appointments.
Do not do ‘closed doors’
As the pope, Leo must fix changes within the church, help renew a belief that declines in many areas and addresses a host of modern-day challenges, including the result of the global sexual abuse scam, including the result of the global sexual abuse scam.To see Sunday, among thousands of loyal people, many people said that they were happy with the signs that Leo would follow Francis’s footsteps, focus on the poor of the world and demand unity in a fragmented world with focus on the poor of the world.The 31 -year -old American, Christina More, said, “I think she is continuing the way to Francis, while she also looks to make himself and I really am excited to see where she will go.”34 -year -old Italian Leo Mita said that the world’s first Pope from the United States actually appeared to be “citizens of the world for rights and for peace”.While Francis sometimes rubbed the wings with his more direct approach between global leaders and within the Vatican, those who monitor the Vatican say that Leo would tap his cool, more collaborative style for the best impact on the international stage. Before addressing the crowd on Sunday, Leo celebrated extensively under St. Peter’s Tomb Site Basilica. According to a Vatican transcript of his words, Leo urged people to “to know how to listen so that justice cannot be done, not thinking that we have all the truth and no one can tell us anything”.
