Leo also asserted that countries have the right to control their borders but mustn't treat migrants worse than “animals,” and lamented that the church’s morality teaching is often reduced to sexual issues.
After a trip that was dominated by the very public back and forth between Leo and U.S. President Donald Trump over the war, Leo urged the United States and Iran to return to negotiations.
He called for a new “culture of peace” to replace the recourse to violence whenever conflicts arise.
