On 8 November 2026, at 18:30 Argentina Time (ART, UTC−3; 9 November, 06:30 Japan Standard Time, UTC+9), Pope Leo XIV addressed the authorities, civil society and the diplomatic corps at the Palacio Libertad in Buenos Aires, during his apostolic journey to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru.
Speaking as a pastor who wished to offer those in public office a Gospel-inspired message for the dignity of every person and the common good, the Pope asked what place children not yet born occupy in decision-making. Before asking what kind of world will be left to children, he said, their dignity must first be recognized. Responsibility toward future generations, he continued, citing Saint John Paul II’s encyclical Evangelium Vitae, begins with welcoming life from its first moments and safeguarding it until its natural end. The same dignity, he added, requires particular concern for people affected by illness, dependency and disability, so that every life is seen to retain a value that no circumstance can diminish.
