Pope Calls for Peace Amid Tensions With White House
Amid a standoff with the US President, Pope Leo XIV emphasizes the importance of peacemaking in a powerful message delivered from Cameroon.
In a bold move amid heightening tensions with the Trump administration, Pope Leo XIV has called for peace and reconciliation, reminding the world that 'Blessed are the peacemakers'. The Pontiff's message, delivered during a visit to Saint Joseph's Cathedral in Bamenda, Cameroon, comes as the country grapples with a violent secessionist movement that has divided the nation over the past decade.
Speaking to a congregation of the faithful, the Pope emphasized the critical role of spiritual leaders in fostering harmony and ending conflict. 'In these troubled times, when the world seems to be unraveling, we must turn to the timeless wisdom of our faith,' he said. 'It is our duty as men of God to be instruments of peace, to bring people together rather than to divide them.'
