Pope Leo XIV has called for greater unity during his inaugural mass, while criticising the effects of unchecked capitalism and the quest for power.
The Pope expressed concern about the global divisions that have led to numerous wounds “caused by hatred, violence, prejudice, fear of others, and by an economic model that exploits the Earth’s resources and marginalises the poorest.”
Like his predecessor, Pope Francis, the new Pope has repeatedly urged world leaders to put an end to wars and conflicts in the days following his election.
