Pope Leo XIV said the Catholic Church is committed to supporting the socially disadvantaged

Pope Leo XIV called Thursday for the poor and marginalised, including migrants, to be at the centre of the Catholic Church's mission, in the first major publication of his papacy.

In the Apostolic Exhortation "Dilexi te" ("I have loved you", in Latin), the US pope warned against the "growth of a wealthy elite, living in a bubble of comfort and luxury," and a culture "that discards others without even realising it."
