"During his Homily, Leo urged citizens to work together to build a society 'capable of engendering a new sense of justice,' where there is 'greater room for freedom' and where 'the dignity of the human person always may be safeguarded.'"
"He called on those present to work to 'serve the common good rather than private interests bridging the gap between the privileged and the disadvantaged.'"
"Pope Leo focused attention on the Central African nation's record of human rights abuses and massive inequality when it comes to distributing the oil-rich nation's wealth."
Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass in Mongomo, Equatorial Guinea, attended by an estimated 100,000 people. He emphasized the need for a society that promotes justice and safeguards human dignity. The Pope called for efforts to serve the common good and address the inequality in wealth distribution in the oil-rich nation. He highlighted the country's human rights abuses and planned to visit a prison afterward, continuing a tradition of his predecessor. Over 70% of Equatorial Guinea's population identifies as Roman Catholic.
