Pope Leo XIV urged this Friday to defend the dignity of migrants, which “is always the same, that of a creature loved and loved by God,” in the speech he gave to the representatives of the diplomatic corps accredited to the Holy See.

“In the change of era that we are living, the Holy See cannot exempt itself from making its own voice felt in the face of the numerous imbalances and injustices that lead, among other things, to unworthy working conditions and increasingly fragmented and conflicting societies,” he said before the representatives of the 184 countries with which the Holy See maintains diplomatic relations.

And he said that “it is also necessary to strive to remedy global inequalities, which trace deep grooves of opulence and indigence between continents, countries and even within the same societies.”

The American pontiff made an appeal to those who “have the responsibility of government to apply to build harmonious and peaceful civil societies” and said that “this can be done above all by investing in the family, based on the stable union between man and woman.”

So “no one can exempt themselves from favoring contexts in which the dignity of each person is to be tuted, especially those most fragile and defenseless, from the unborn child to the elderly, from the sick to the unemployed, whether these are citizens or immigrants.”

And he recalled his own life “unfolded between North America, South America and Europe” and his own history, which is that of “a citizen, descendant of immigrants, who in turn has emigrated” so “each of us, in the course of life, can find ourselves healthy or sick, busy or unemployed, in his homeland or in a foreign land”.

“His dignity, however, is always the same, that of a creature loved and loved by God,” he said.

As a cardinal, Robert Francis Prevost had criticized the anti-immigrant policy of US President Donald Trump on social media.

This Friday, in his first meeting with the diplomatic corps, León XIV also advocated giving new impetus to multilateral diplomacy and to those international institutions that were loved and conceived above all to resolve the controversies that may arise within the international community.

And he recalled Pope Francis’ last request on Easter Sunday to abandon the race to rearmament.

“It is a time of conversion and renewal, and above all the opportunity to leave the contests behind and begin a new path, animated by the hope of being able to build, working together, each according to their own sensitivities and responsibilities, a world in which each of us can realize our own humanity in truth, in justice and in peace,” the pope concluded before the diplomats.
