Simon Tisdall argues that immoral world leaders spread moral decay, while Pope Francis offers rare ethical leadership

Summary

Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall argues that world leaders like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Benjamin Netanyahu exhibit a contagious immorality characterized by violence, lack of compassion, paranoia, and rejection of basic moral standards. In contrast, Pope Francis stands out as a rare figure of genuine moral leadership in a political landscape dominated by billionaires, war criminals, and mega-corporations. The piece critiques the erosion of ethical governance and highlights the pope's consistent stance on peace, social justice, and human dignity as a counterweight to the moral decay spreading among global power brokers.
