Pope Leo XIV is calling for dialogue
in a polarized world, King Felipe VI of Spain said a day after
the election of Cardinal Robert Prevost as the 267th leader of
the Catholic Church and first US-born pontiff.
Pope Leo XIV "expressed the desire for a Church that builds
bridges, that fosters dialogue and is always a bearer of peace",
a message that constitutes, "in a world marked by polarization",
an "urgent appeal to overcome divisions and conflicts and to
open paths towards mutual understanding": said the King.
"May his pontificate be a true source of hope for humanity",
added the Spanish monarch, speaking during the award ceremony of
the European Charles V Prize to the former EU High
Representative Josep Borrell, at the Monastery of Yuste
(Extremadura).
