I am also pleased that here, among the first supporters, is St John Paul II, my Pope whom I met in Krakow as archbishop; as I also note that Pope Leo XIV, without knowing it, in using the words “disarmed and disarming peace”, reiterated what St Leo the Great said when he disarmed Attila: the same words are present in your “Constitution” approved in November 2022".
