Pope Francis uttered his strongest plea yet about the seventh-month-old conflict, which he denounced as an “error and a horror.”
Pope Francis leaves after the Angelus noon prayer from the window of his studio overlooking St.Peter's Square, at the Vatican, Sunday, Oct. 2, 2022. Pope Francis has appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin, imploring him to"stop this spiral of violence and death" in Ukraine. The pontiff also called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to"be open" to serious peace proposals.
“How the war is going in Ukraine has become so grave, devastating and threatening that it sparks great worry,” Francis said. “Rivers of blood and tears spilled these months torment me,'' the pope said. ”I am pained by the thousands of victims, in particular among the children, and by so much destruction, that leaves many persons and families homeless and threatens vast territories with cold and hunger,'' he said.
"And what to say about the fact that humanity finds itself again faced with atomic threat? It's absurd,'' Francis said, who then called for an immediate cease-fire.
