Pope Leo XIV: Man and woman, the foundation of the family! The unborn and the
Pope Leo XIV

Pope Leo XIV affirmed Friday that the family is founded on the "permanent union between a man and a woman" and that the unborn and the elderly enjoy dignity as creatures of God, articulating clear Catholic teachings on marriage and abortion at the start of his pontificate.

Leo, the first American pope, also called for a revival of multilateral diplomacy and the promotion of dialogue among religions in the search for peace, in his first meeting with the Vatican diplomatic corps. The audience was private, but the Vatican released the prepared text of Pope Leo and that of the dean of the diplomatic corps.

The meeting is one of the protocol requirements after a conclave, allowing a new pope to greet representatives of world governments before his official inauguration Mass this Sunday. The Holy See is a sovereign state under international law, has diplomatic relations with over 180 countries and enjoys observer status at the United Nations.

Pope Leo, a member of the Augustinian religious order, has emphasized peace as a priority of his pontificate, from the first words he uttered in the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica after his election on May 8, "Peace be with you all."

In his speech, he said the search for peace was one of the pillars of the papacy. He insisted that peace is not just the absence of conflict, but a "gift" that requires work, from ending the production of weapons to carefully choosing words. "Because words, not just weapons, can wound and even kill."

He said it is up to governments to build peaceful societies "above all by investing in the family, founded on the lasting union between a man and a woman."

"Furthermore, no one is excluded from the effort to ensure respect for the dignity of every person, especially the most fragile and vulnerable, from the unborn to the elderly, from the sick to the unemployed, citizens and migrants alike," he said.
