Future of humanity in jeopardy, Pope Leo XIV warns

Pope Leo XIV has warned that the future of humanity is “tragically compromised” due to ongoing armed conflicts around the world, according to Reuters.

“The destiny of humanity risks being tragically ​compromised without a change of direction in the assumption of political responsibility and without respect for institutions and international agreements,” the pontiff said during a visit to Equatorial Guinea.

The Pope also emphasised that global armed conflicts are negatively affecting the future of the world. 

In a speech to Equatorial Guinea President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and other political leaders, the head of the 1.4-billion-member Church stated: "God does not want this."

He has previously said that many people worldwide are being “exploited by authoritarians and defrauded by the rich.”
