Pope Leo XIV Denounces Euthanasia at Lourdes Mass, to Meet Abuse Victims

Pope Leo XIV used a mass in Lourdes, attended by over 150,000, to deliver a strong moral condemnation of euthanasia, reinforcing the Vatican's stance. He is scheduled to meet with clerical sexual abuse victims later today, a move that may signal a continued focus on accountability. The visit underscores the Church's engagement with bioethical and internal justice issues, though its direct geopolitical or market impact is minimal.
