Pope Francis condemns ‘violent attack on Ukraine’ and continuing ‘unreasonable slaughter’

Pope Francis called the war in Ukraine an unjustified “absurd massacre” and called on leaders to stop “this heinous war.”

“Unfortunately, the violent attack on Ukraine does not stop,” he told tens of thousands of people gathered in St. Peter’s Square for the pope’s Sunday message. “It’s an absurd massacre, where massacres and atrocities are repeated every day,” he said. “There is no excuse for that.”

However, in condemning the “violent attack on Ukraine”, the “absurd massacre” and the “disgusting war”, Pope Francis avoided naming Russia.

“I urge all members of the international community to show real commitment to ending this heinous war. Even this week, rockets and bombs hit civilians, the elderly, children, pregnant mothers,” said Pope Francis, referring to indiscriminate Russian attacks. cities.
