Pope Leone XIV urged the international community to lay down arms and reject the use of religion to justify violence during his first Palm Sunday Mass at Saint Peter Square.The pontiff addressed thousands of pilgrims while paying tribute to Pope Francis, who passed away following a twelve-year papacy and a recent illness in his Vatican residence.This call for reconciliation coincides with reports of Israeli police blocking religious services at the
Holy Sepulchre and upcoming traditional Holy Week ceremonies at the Colosseum.
