Pope Leo XIV Condemns 'Dictatorship' of Inequality, Calls for Migrant Support

Pope Leo XIV, in his first major document 'Dilexi te', has condemned the 'dictatorship' of economic inequality and called for support of 'rejected' migrants. The document, prepared under Pope Francis, echoes and expands on the social concerns of his predecessor.

Pope Leo XIV, known for his more low-key and reserved style compared to Pope Francis, has cited Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini as an example of assisting poor immigrants in the US. The Catholic Church, under his leadership, remains committed to supporting migrants, including through 'refugee reception centers' and 'border missions'.

In 'Dilexi te', Pope Leo XIV shares Pope Francis' concerns about inequality and 'trickle-down' economics. He calls on Catholics to work on eradicating 'unjust' economic structures. The Pope also warns against a 'worldliness' inside the church that seeks privileges in exchange for security.

Pope Leo XIV's 'Dilexi te' is a continuation of the Church's stance on poverty and inequality, with a focus on supporting 'rejected' migrants. The Pope criticizes those in the church who merely 'preach doctrine' and 'ridicule' charitable works, emphasizing the need for practical support and action.
