Pope Leo XIV delivers the Angelus prayer in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican, Sunday, Aug. 24, 2025.\u00a9\u00a0AP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pope Leo XIV has called for the “pandemic of arms, large and small” to end following the school shooting in Minnesota<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during his weekly prayer at the Vatican on Sunday, he said: “Our prayers for the victims of the tragic shooting during a school mass in the American state of Minnesota. We hold in our prayers the countless children killed and injured every day around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added: “The voice of weapons must fall silent, and the voice of fraternity and justice must prevail.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two children were killed and 18 children were hurt at the Catholic Annunciation school in Minneapolis last Wednesday when a shooter opened fire while they were gathered for mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victims were later identified as Harper Moyski, 10, and Fletcher Merkel, eight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
