Pope Leo XIV on Monday called global peace a “true moral imperative” and said weapons could only lead to a “temporary silence” not a “genuine and lasting peace”.

“Peace emerges as a political aspiration and, even more so, as a true moral imperative,” he said in a speech to the Spanish parliament, calling for “patient dialogue” instead of rearmament in Europe and beyond.

“Weapons may impose a temporary silence but they can never build a genuine and lasting peace,” he said.
