Pope Leo XIV has said, “there is no future based on violence, forced exile, or revenge.”
The Roman Pontiff’s message is coming following the “suffering” of “brothers and sisters” in the “tormented land” of the Gaza Strip.
The Head of the Catholic Church expressed appreciation to the various Catholic Church representatives for their “initiative and closeness” to fellow Church members who are passing through “torment” in the Gaza Strip.
Pope Leo XIV wrote on X: “Dear representatives of various Catholic associations, committed to showing solidarity with the population of the Gaza Strip!
“I appreciate your initiative and the many others throughout the Church that express closeness to the brothers and sisters suffering in that tormented land.
“Together with you and the pastors of the Churches in the Holy Land, I repeat: there is no future based on violence, forced exile, or revenge. People need peace: those who truly love them, work for peace.”
