Archbishop Weisenburger echoes Pope Leo XIV's call for peace

April 13, 2026

Archbishop of Detroit Edward J. Weisenburger adds his voice to Pope Leo XIV's calls for peace in the Holy Land, Iran, and throughout the world:

“To leaders and people of goodwill everywhere, I echo the Holy Father’s appeal: Let us seek to end wars and choose the hard work of peace through dialogue, cooperation among nations, and reconciliation. Too many innocent lives have been lost. As disciples of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, we are called to reject that which divides us and instead to build bridges that protect life and heal the wounds of violence.”
