Pope Leo XIV

 

Pope Leo XIV for Ash Wednesday on "structures of sin."

“Sin, of course, is personal, but it takes shape in the real and virtual environments we frequent, in the attitudes we use to influence one another, often within actual 'structures of sin' of an economic, cultural, political, and even religious nature. Opposing the living God to idolatry—Scripture teaches us—means daring to embrace freedom and rediscover it through an exodus, a journey. No longer paralyzed, rigid, and secure in our positions, but gathered together to move and change. How rare it is to find adults who repent, people, businesses, and institutions who admit they were wrong!”
