Il Tempo: M.O., Papa: sgomento per lacerazioni guerra in regioni del mondo

Roma, 22 mar. (askanews) - "Cari fratelli e sorelle, continuo a seguire con commento la situazione in Medio Oriente, così come in altre regioni del mondo lacerate dalla guerra e dalla violenza.
Non possiamo rimanere in silenzio". Lo ha detto Papa Leone XIV parlando dopo l'Angelus.
"Non possiamo rimanere in silenzio di fronte alla sofferenza di così tante persone, vittime inermi di questi conflitti. Ciò che li ferisce, ferisce l'intera umanità, la morte e il dolore provocati da queste guerre sono uno scandalo per tutta la famiglia umana e un grido al cospetto di Dio". Lo ha detto Papa Leone rivolgendosi ai pellegrini in piazza San Pietro, dopo la recita dell'Angelus.
"Rinnovo con forza l'appello a perseverare nella preghiera affinché cessino di ostilità e si aprano finalmente cammini di pace fondati sul dialogo sincero e sul rispetto della dignità di ogni persona umana", ha continuato il Santo Padre.

M.O., Pope: dismay at the lacerations of war in regions of the world.

Rome, March 22 (askanews) - “Dear brothers and sisters, I continue to follow with commentary the situation in the Middle East, as well as in other regions of the world torn apart by war and violence.
We cannot remain silent.” This was said by Pope Leo XIV after the Angelus.
“We cannot remain silent in the face of the suffering of so many people, defenseless victims of these conflicts. What wounds them, wounds all of humanity, the death and pain caused by these wars are a scandal for the entire human family and a cry before God.” This was said by Pope Leo addressing the pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square, after the recitation of the Angelus.
“I renew with force the appeal to persevere in prayer so that hostilities cease and finally paths of peace are opened based on sincere dialogue and respect for the dignity of every human person,” continued the Holy Father.

The Quiet American: How Pope Leo Is Pushing Back Against Trump

Can the low-key pontiff from Chicago make a difference in an era of raw power politics?
