Pope Leo XIV appeals for 'no more war' in first Sunday message
Pope Leo XIV appealed to the world's major powers for 'no more war' in his first Sunday message to crowds in St Peter's Square since his election as pontiff. The new pope, elected on May 8, called for an 'authentic and lasting peace' in Ukraine, a ceasefire in Gaza, and the release of all Israeli hostages held by militant group Hamas. Leo also welcomed the recent fragile ceasefire between India and Pakistan, negotiated overnight, and said he was praying to God to grant the world the 'miracle of peace'. 'No more war!' the pope said, repeating a frequent call of the late Pope Francis and noting the recent 80th anniversary of the end of World War 2, in which some 60-million people were killed. Leo said today's world was living through 'the dramatic scenario of a Third World War being fought piecemeal', again repeating a phrase coined by Francis. The new pope said he carries in his heart the 'suffering of the beloved people of Ukraine'. Hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed direct talks with Ukraine aimed at ending the bloody three-year war, Leo appealed for negotiations to reach an 'authentic, just and lasting peace'. The pope also said he was 'profoundly saddened' by the war in Gaza, calling for an immediate ceasefire, humanitarian aid and release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas. Leo said he was glad to hear of the recent India-Pakistan ceasefire and hoped negotiations would lead to a lasting accord between the nuclear-armed neighbours. He added: 'But there are so many other conflicts in the world!'
