Through an open letter published on our channels, we have addressed Pope Leo XIV directly, who in recent days has been at the centre of a situation of growing tension following declarations made by the President of the United States of America Donald Trump.

Pax Christi International renews its full solidarity with the Holy Father and with the message of peace he continues to uphold. Like him, we affirm that there can be no peace without a continuous commitment to Nonviolence, to be applied worldwide, and that this is not a political instrument, but an ethical and Gospel-centred path against injustice.

As Catholic actors, we welcome his ongoing call for a “disarmed and disarming” peace, and we accompany him with trust and hope through prayer and in the shared mission for the Church and the world.

The letter, written together with Pax Christi USA, can be consulted and downloaded also in Spanish here.
