The new Pope Leo XIV condemned the Russian-Ukrainian war and called for peace in our country. Then, during an interview with a local Peruvian publication, he emphasized that crimes against humanity are being committed in Ukraine, The Wall Street Journal reports.
"This is a real invasion, imperialistic in nature, where Russia wants to conquer territory for reasons of power. It has been proven that crimes against humanity are being committed in Ukraine," the WSJ quotes Robert Francis Prevost as saying during that conversation.
The media suggests that the conclave during the election of the new pontiff counted on the fact that the mixed identity of the American Prevost would positively affect him as the leader of the world church.
"His American flock (the general name for the laity in Christianity - ed.) remains very influential and wealthy, even if its members are torn by the same differences - over immigration, cultural issues and identity - that fuel politics in much of the West," the material says.
The new Pope Leo XIV will have to respond to the wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, the media emphasizes. Although so far, Prevot has rarely spoken publicly, including on the most controversial issues of the Church, such as the role of women.
