In his inaugural address, Pope Leo XIV emphasized the traditional view of family as a union between a man and a woman while advocating for the dignity of the unborn and elderly. Highlighting the importance of peace, he defined it as a proactive pursuit that requires cooperative effort from governments to foster societies that respect and invest in families. He also noted that peace involves thoughtful communication and an end to violence, urging collaboration across nations and religions towards a peaceful world.
"Peace isn't just the absence of conflict but a gift that requires work, from an end to the production of weapons to choosing words carefully."
"Governments should build peaceful societies primarily by investing in the family, founded upon the stable union between a man and a woman."
"No one is exempted from striving to ensure respect for the dignity of every person, especially the most frail and vulnerable, from the unborn to the elderly."
"The family is founded on the stable union between a man and a woman, and the unborn and elderly enjoy dignity as God's creatures."
