  "account": "Pope Leo XIV urged religious leaders in France on Monday to preach messages of peace and unity while concluding his visit. He reflected on the forces of dialogue that helped forge Europe's post-World War II integration. The pontiff held an interreligious meeting at a conference center named after Robert Schumann, a French Catholic statesman seen as a founding father of European unity. In his address, Leo cautioned against using God's name to justify violence or oppression, stressing that religious discourse should call for disarmament of hearts and words. Schuman's example of promoting dialogue among rivals was cited as an example for faith leaders to forge friendships across borders in the name of peace.",
