This was stated in his new book, “The Power of the Gospel.”
Pope Leo
“We can no longer tolerate structural injustice in which those who have more become poorer, and vice versa, those who have less become poorer,” he wrote.
The book, edited by Lorenzo Fazzini, editorial director of Libreria Editrice Vaticana, collects the interventions and speeches of Leo XIV organized around 10 Christian keywords: Christ, heart, church, mission, communion, peace, poor, fragility, justice and hope.
In the introduction, the Holy Father observes the situation in the contemporary world and warns: “Hatred and violence risk, like a slippery slope, overflowing until poverty spreads among the people.”
In light of this, Robert Prevost highlights that the cure lies in “the same desire for communion” and “mutual recognition as brotherhood,” which is “the antidote to all extremism.”
The publication “The Power of the Gospel” will be the subject of several public meetings in the coming days, in several Italian cities, sponsored by Editora Vaticana and ecclesiastical and cultural organizations.
The events will take place on the following dates: November 21 in Vicenza and Cremona; November 25 in Trento; December 1st in Verona; December 5 in Genoa; And December 15 in Cagliari.
In addition to the book presentation, the events will also screen the two documentaries “León de Peru” and the recent film “Leo from Chicago,” produced by the Department of Communications, which depicts and addresses the missionary work of Leo XIV in Peru and his American origins. .
