Summary
Pope Leo XIV met on Wednesday with members of the Pro Petri Sede Association, a group that supports the Successor of Peter. During his address, Pope Leo praised the association for its efforts and noted that their mission remains relevant in today’s socio-historical context. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the freedom to speak truth and promote peace as successor to Peter, citing examples including the Papal Zouaves during the 19th century and Pope Pius IX’s refusal to use violence in defending Rome from Italian forces in 1870. The Pope highlighted that the proclamation of the Kingdom of God is still hindered in many places today and thanked the association for their prayers, charitable activities, and financial support for a charity work in Peru’s former Diocese of Chiclayo. He also entrusted them to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
