The Pope at the Wisdom of Rome: “It is not called defense a rearmament that increases tensions”

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “I wanted to begin my visit to the chapel because this visit is pastoral, to know the university, to be able to greet and share a moment in the faith. Those who study, who seek and seek truth will find God in the beauty of creation. Today is a beautiful moment, a blessing and a gift of God to find us here and live this moment knowing that God has called us”. Thus Pope Leo XIV on the occasion of his pastoral visit to the Sapienza University of Rome.

“I am very happy to be here this morning with you. I hope it is a moment of grace, a moment of joy for the whole community of Wisdom”, the greeting of the pontiff addressed to the students present in the central square of the Sapienza University of Rome.

“The drama of 900 should not be forgotten, the cry ‘never war’ of my predecessors so consonant as the repudiation of the war enshrined in the Constitution, spurs us to a spiritual alliance on which with a sense of justice that inhabits the hearts of young people, with their vocation not to close between ideologies and national borders,” the Pope added.

“In the last year military spending in the world has grown, especially in Europe has been enormous. It is not called defense a rearmament that increases tensions and insecurities, which depletes investments in education and health, which denies trust in diplomacy.” It is necessary to ensure the development and application of artificial intelligence in the military and civil sphere so that the tragicity of conflicts does not worsen,” the Holy Father added.
