Pope Leo XIV on Saturday condemned the widening “chasms between the rich and the poor ” during a visit to the tiny Catholic principality of Monaco, a playground of millionaires on the French Riviera.
He arrived in Monaco for a whirlwind visit to the tiny Catholic principality, a millionaire’s playground that is the surprise pick for the first Western European trip of his papacy.
In an address in French from the balcony of the Prince’s Palace, the American pope denounced “unjust configurations of power, structures of sin that dig chasms between poor and rich, between the privileged and the rejected, between friends and enemies.”

He said wealth should serve “law and justice, especially at a historical moment when displays of force and the logic of omnipotence wound the world and jeopardise peace,” in a clear reference to the growing number of conflicts across the globe.
