267th Pope of the Catholic Church (2025–)
We cannot look the other way when we know that there are children in Uruguay who do not go to school for fear of not returning. We cannot ignore our conscience when we see a mother who does not have the means to feed her children. A child from this country, so rich in natural resources, should not go to bed hungry, nor should they miss out on a decent education and a dignified future because of the insecurity that prevails in the streets. And above all, they should not have to endure violence that leads to death. Dare to take the step of marrying and starting a family. Do not be afraid of 'forever'! #PausLeo #ZuidAmerika #SociaalEcht (translated)
