VATICAN CITY — Pope Leo XIV delivered a powerful appeal for unity during his latest Angelus address, urging people around the world to recognize their shared dignity and common destiny. Speaking to thousands gathered in St. Peter’s Square, the Pope emphasized that despite differences in culture, nationality, and background, humanity is called to live as one family.
