‘War is never blessed’

Derby Telegraph

|

June 27, 2026

POPE Leo XIV said war is “never blessed by God” as he opened a meeting of the world’s cardinals yesterday by insisting the Catholic Church has a prophetic message of peace for a world ravaged by conflict.

Leo summoned the cardinals for the two-day meeting, responding to their demand to be consulted more frequently than during the 12-year pontificate of Pope Francis, who tended to govern alone.

Cardinals, the red-capped “princes of the church,” have two main jobs: advising the pope while he is living and, after he dies, electing a new one.

After an initial January session, known as a consistory, the American Pope invited the cardinals back for Round 2 this weekend.
