Pope Leo XIV marks a year of pontificate, in which the word "peace" has dominated all his speeches. His message emphasizes responsibility and the refusal of violence.

Today marks one year since the beginning of the papacy of Pope Leo XIV, a year in which the word "peace" has been central in all his messages. On the evening of May 8, 2025, the Pope presented his vision, advocating for an active peace, not a naive or temporary one. He warned against the "fatigue" that can lead to superficial reconciliation, invoking a "savage peace" that arises from suffering. Another important aspect of his message was the denunciation of the "war profiteers" and the financial paradox of conflicts, highlighting how resources are used for destruction instead of construction. His message has transcended the borders of the Vatican, being conveyed in various locations, including Cameroon. One year into his papacy, Leo XIV asserts himself as a consistent leader, promoting peace as an act of courage, rejecting the idols of power and money that fuel conflicts.
