Disputed Disputed. The Vatican source is a genuine message of Pope Francis for the 2024 World Day of Peace and it does contain the treaty/regulation language plus a separate phrase about “the vulnerable.” However, the supplied text is not a single verbatim excerpt from that source: the “the vulnerable ...” fragment appears earlier in the document, while the “binding ... treaty” and “The goal of regulation ...” lines appear later, so the quote is a reordered composite rather than an exact quotation as presented. The document itself is dated 8 December 2023, for 1 January 2024.
