00:00Pope Leo XIV urges the world's 1.4 billion Catholics to care for migrants, days after he criticized the hardline anti-immigration policies of U.S. President Donald Trump.
00:12Leo had questioned whether the Trump government's treatment of migrants were in line with the Catholic Church's pro-life teachings, a comment that drew heated backlash from some prominent conservative Catholics.
00:22Leo tells thousands of pilgrims celebrating Mass in St. Peter's Square that migrants should not be treated with the coldness of indifference or the stigma of discrimination.
00:30He calls on Catholics to, quote,
00:32open our arms and hearts to them, welcoming them as brothers and sisters, and to be a presence of consolation and hope for migrants.
