Pope Leo preaches peace in first Easter Mass

from The Radio National Hour · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

As President Donald Trump and his Defence Secretary Peter Hegseth continue to invoke God and promise to rain down hell in their war against Iran, Pope Leo has called on the powerful to lay down their weapons in his Easter Sunday mass. As he nears his first year as leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics, the quiet American is growing louder in his opposition to the Trump administration’s aggression.  What do you pack for a trip to the moon? Amidst the many experiments and precious cargo onboard Artemis II are miniature human organs embedded in computer chips. As well as testing the impacts of space travel on human organs, it's hoped this new technology could spell the end of lab testing on animals and revolutionise how we treat disease.
