Pope Leo Condemns ‘Handful of Tyrants’ and Slams War-Mongering Leaders

Pope Leo Condemns ‘Handful of Tyrants’ and Slams War-Mongering Leaders

During a visit to Cameroon, Pope Leo warned that the world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants. He criticised leaders who divert resources into weapons while neglecting healing, education and restoration. The pontiff denounced the “endless cycle of destabilisation and death” that follows war. In a veiled reference to former US President Donald Trump, he accused some figures of manipulating religion and the name of God for military and political gain. He vowed to continue speaking out against conflict, urging dialogue and multilateral cooperation to find just solutions and end innocent suffering.
