""Aircraft should always be vehicles of peace, never of war! No one should fear that threats of death and destruction will come from the sky," the pope stated, emphasizing the need for peace in air travel."

""After the tragic experiences of the twentieth century, aerial bombardment should have been banished forever! Instead, as we know, it still exists, and technological development, which is positive in itself, is being put at the service of war," he remarked."

Pope Leo XIV expressed strong opposition to aerial bombings, stating they should have been banned after the 20th century wars. He emphasized that advancements in technology and air travel should promote peace, not warfare. During an address to ITA Airways staff, he highlighted the role of the pope as a messenger of peace, advocating for dialogue and brotherhood. The pope criticized the ongoing use of aircraft for military purposes, declaring it a regression rather than progress, and called for a world where no one fears threats from the sky.
