Pope Leo XIV told new ambassadors to the Holy See on Saturday that the Vatican would not be a “silent bystander” to human rights abuses around the world.

The comments are one of the clearest yet in revealing the philosophy of the US pope, who was elected head of the world’s Catholics in May following the death of Pope Francis.

“I wish to reaffirm that the Holy See will not be a silent bystander to the grave disparities, injustices and fundamental human rights violations in our global community, which is increasingly more fractured and conflict-prone,” he told the group of 13 ambassadors.
