Pope Léon XIV made his first official visit to Monaco on Saturday, the first by a pontiff in nearly 500 years to the principality. Welcomed by Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène, he called for social justice and wealth redistribution from the palace balcony. He denounced the « abîmes between poor and rich » and advocated for peace and the defense of life.
Pope Leo XIV has urged Christians in Europe and North America to move beyond fears of Islam, arguing that such anxieties are often stirred up by anti-migrant activists. Speaking to reporters at the end of a trip to Turkey and Lebanon, he highlighted his meetings with Muslim leaders and praised Lebanon as an example of coexistence between Christians and Muslims after years of conflict.
