    In Tuesday’s letter, the pope said the Catholic Church taught that power could not be seen as an end in ​itself “but as a ​means ordered toward ⁠the common good”.

    “This implies that the legitimacy of authority depends not on the accumulation of economic ​or technological strength, but on the wisdom and ​virtue ⁠with which it is exercised,” said Leo.
