Pope Francis: Some people in power sponsor wars

THE Pope Francisvisiting Maltawanted to refer again to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the urgent need to reach a peace agreement.

“While once again some people in power – and unfortunately still locked in their anachronistic, nationalist interests – are provoking and fomenting war, the common people feel the need to build a future that is either common or, otherwise, it will not be able to exist “, stressed the pope.

According to Italian commentators, in his statement the pope “referred to Vladimir Putin, without naming him “.

“On this night of war that has covered humanity, we must not let the dream of peace be lost. War has been being prepared for a long time, with large investments and an arms trade,” Francis added.

The Italian media, finally, refers with emphasis both to the statement of the Holy Father of the Catholics himself that “the possibility of visiting Kyiv is on the table” and to the news that efforts are being made to arrange a meeting between Pope Francis and the Patriarch of Moscow Cyril, perhaps before the end of spring.
