Pope Leo XIV Lists Nigeria Among Countries Discriminating Against Christians
Pope Leo XIV highlighted Nigeria's discrimination against Christians, alongside Bangladesh, Mozambique, and Sudan. He urged prayers for peace and solidarity among believers, especially in these countries facing frequent attacks on Christian communities.
The pontiff's remarks come amidst concerns over religious persecution, with the CPC refuting the US President's recent designation of Nigeria as a country of particular concern. Pope Leo also called for prayers for peace in the Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of Congo following recent massacres.
