Margaret Karram, president of the Rome-based Focolare movement, visited the United States to discuss current issues in peacemaking.

Pope Leo XIV's offer to host peace talks between Russia and Ukraine was motivated by a conviction that the two sides must start negotiating and stop the killing, the Vatican secretary of state said.

Pope Leo offered a heartening message for a global media that has endured a pretty awful year.

‘Andor’ is a piece of art that is both thrilling to watch and spiritually enriching.

“The peoples of our world desire peace,” Pope Leo XIV said, “and to their leaders I appeal with all my heart: Let us meet, let us talk, let us negotiate! War is never inevitable.”

At first glance, it would seem that buying rosaries and listening to the pope cry out passionately against war have little to do with each other.
