Pope expressed a number of assessments and criticism about the Russian-Ukrainian war and events in the Middle East.
This is stated in a statement published by the Vatican.
“Our hearts are doused with blood when we think about Ukraine, about the tragic and inhuman situation in gas and the Middle East, devastated by the spread of war. Humanity is designed to assess the causes of these conflicts, check what is a reality, reject the false content generated by emotional illusions and rhetoric, and that people should not die due to false news,” the report says.
noting that it is truly sad to observe today in many contexts the imposition of the law of the powerful of this world to legitimize his own interests, the dad adds: “Denue that the power of international and humanitarian law no longer seems binding, but is replaced by the so -called right to subjugate others by force. It is inhuman and shameful for humanity and leaders of nations.”
Asking the question of how to lay the foundation of the future without social harmony and a holistic vision based on a common good, Papa Leo XIV emphasized:
“After a centuries -old history, how can one believe that military operations will bring the world and that these actions will not return to those who commit them? How can we continue to betray the desire of the peoples to the world, promoting the rearmament, ignoring the fact that superiority with its illusion of solving problems actually incites hatred and revenge?”
