Pope Leo XIV LIVE: Apologizes for Church’s Role in Slavery, 'A Wound in Christian Memory' | Holy See

WATCH LIVE: Pope Leo XIV issues a historic apology for the Catholic Church’s role in legitimizing slavery, calling it “a wound in Christian memory” during his first major encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas. Speaking from the Vatican, the pope acknowledged that past papal decrees contributed to the trans-Atlantic slave system by authorizing European powers to subjugate and enslave non-Christians, and said the Church was slow to fully condemn the practice. The unprecedented statement marks a major moment of reckoning with the Church’s historical legacy and comes amid a broader moral message on human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence and modern forms of exploitation. #Live #popeleoxiv #vatican #slavery --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos, subscribe to our channel: / hookglobal Visit our website for more news: https://hooknews.com Follow Hook here: Instagram: / hooknewsfeed Snapchat: / kl5vqrtH X: / HookNewsfeed
