Pope Leo warns vs exploitation at inaugural mass
Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, used his inaugural mass to call for an end to the exploitation of nature and the marginalization of the poor.
During his homily in St. Peter's Square, the 69-year-old Pope Leo XIV urged the Church to be a force for transformation in a world plagued by division and hatred.
He specifically decried the current economic system for exploiting natural resources and disregarding the poorest members of society.
Drawing from his missionary experience in Peru, the Pope cautioned against isolationism and emphasized the importance of extending God's love to everyone.
Pope Leo XIV stressed that true unity values individual histories and the cultural diversity of all peoples, rather than erasing differences.
The inaugural mass was attended by dignitaries including US Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.
