On 11 October 2025, in Saint Peter’s Square, Leo XIV addressed pilgrims from Tuscany: “Don Lorenzo Milani, prophet of the Tuscan and Italian Church… had as his motto ‘I care’. I urge you not to be passive, and to do your part to shape the face of a Church that cares about people’s lives.” Those words, spoken before thousands, were deliberate. They echoed Francis’s earlier praise of the same man. Leo knew exactly what he was saying. He was canonizing corruption. Don Lorenzo Milani (1923 – 1967) was no prophet. He was a priest who wrote letters so vile that even his admirers blush to cite them...
Where is the proof that the priest said those things? I have been trying to find a source for the last hour and chatgpt says the only sources of this report are journalists quoting each other. If it's not true you are undermining the true expression of the faith and will serve to push those away who will see trade as liars and detractors. We need proof.
