教皇利奥十四世敦促欧洲铭记其基督教历史，并在周一于法国东北部城市梅斯发表讲话，呼吁和平与团结，这是他访问的第四天也是最后一天。他说：“个人与国家之间的关系变得日益不文明。守信的价值被抛弃。相反，人们以谎言和欺骗为荣。”
Pope Leo XIV urged Europe to remember its Christian history and appealed for peace and unity in a speech delivered in France's northeastern city of Metz on Monday, the fourth and final day of his visit. "Relations between individuals and states are becoming increasingly uncivilised. The value of keeping one's word is dismissed. Instead, people boast of lies and deceit," he said. "Europe can help to break this cycle through the respect for others that it has learned to cultivate and preserve."
他说：“欧洲可以通过其学会培养和维护的对他人的尊重，帮助打破这一循环。”
