Castel Gandolfo (Italy) (AFP) – Pope Leo XIV slams the “barbarity” of the war in Gaza and urges for a “peaceful resolution of the conflict”, just days after a deadly strike by Israel’s military on a Catholic church. “I once again ask for an immediate end to the barbarity of the war,” Leo says at the end of the Angelus prayer at Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer residence near Rome.
