"I repeat to you today the invitation made by Pope Francis in his last message for the upcoming World Communications Day: let us disarm communication from all prejudice, rancor, fanaticism and hatred; let us purify it from aggression". These were the words by Pope Leo XIV during his meeting at the Vatican with media representatives, who welcomed him with a standing ovation. "We do not need thunderous, emphatic communication," the Pontiff added, "but rather communication capable of listening, of gathering the voice of the weak who have no voice. Let us disarm the words and we will contribute to disarming the Earth. Disarming communication allows us to share a different look at the world and to act in a way that is consistent with our human dignity. You are at the forefront of narrating conflicts and hopes for peace, situations of injustice and poverty, and the silent work of so many for a better world. That is why I ask you to consciously and courageously choose the path of peace communication," was Leo XIV's appeal to the media. "Dear friends, we will learn with time to know each other better," the Pope said as he addressed the journalists present, thanking them "for the work you have done and are doing in this time, which for the Church is essentially a time of Grace," reiterating in his address that "peace begins with each one of us, with the way we look at others, listen to others, talk about others: in this sense the way we communicate is of fundamental importance, we must say no to the war of words, of images, we must reject the paradigm of war". In addition, Leo XIV expresses "the solidarity of the Church with journalists imprisoned for seeking and reporting the truth," calling for their release. Finally, a passage on Artificial Intelligence "with its immense potential that requires, however, responsibility and discernment to orient the tools to the good of all, so that they can produce benefits for humanity. And this responsibility concerns everyone, in proportion to age and social roles”.
