Pope Leo calls for Christians to treat foreigners with kindness as he closes Catholic Holy Year
AI Summary
Pope Leo XIV closed the Catholic Church's Holy Year on Tuesday at the Vatican, urging Christians to treat foreigners with kindness and help those in need. The Holy Year, a period of peace and forgiveness typically held every 25 years, saw a record 33.5 million pilgrims visit Rome from 185 countries. Leo emphasized that pilgrims should recognize the humanity in all people, not treat them as "products" of a distorted economy. The 2025 jubilee was opened by the late Pope Francis and closed by Leo, a historical rarity, and the next Holy Year is expected in 2033. Leo echoed his predecessor's criticism of the global economic system, stating that markets turn human yearnings into mere business.
