Back to EpisodesPope Leo's Easter Peace Plea
Description
Pope Leo XIII, the first US-born pontiff, delivered a powerful Easter Mass plea for global peace, urging weapon-holders to lay down their arms and leaders to choose dialogue over domination. He criticized growing indifference to conflict-related deaths and economic fallout, drawing parallels to Easters hope from Jesuss resurrection. In a departure from tradition, Leo skipped naming hot spots and instead highlighted the need for renewal. His actions during Holy Week, including washing priests feet and carrying a cross, and his announcement of a peace vigil, further emphasized his call for real talk over endless war.
