Pope Leo XIV calls for release of journalists imprisoned for seeking truth
ai generated text
In an introductory audience with the media, the pope emphasized the importance of peaceful communication, warning against the "war of words and images" and advocating for a paradigm shift away from conflict-driven discourse. His comments were seen as a response to the increasing polarization of global communication, driven by prejudice and resentment.
In this sense, the way we communicate is of fundamental importance. We must say 'no' to the war of words and images. We must reject the paradigm of war. Let me, therefore, reiterate today the Church's solidarity with journalists who are imprisoned for seeking and reporting the truth, while also asking for their release.
