ROME — Pope Francis renewed his appeal for an end to war Sunday, condemning the “bestiality” of the Russian war on Ukraine.
“More than a month has passed since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, since the beginning of this cruel and senseless war which, like any war, represents a defeat for all, for all of us,” the pontiff told the 30,000 pilgrims gathered in the Vatican for his weekly Angelus address.
“There is a need to repudiate war, a place of death where fathers and mothers bury their children, where men kill their brothers without even having seen them, where the powerful decide and the poor die,” he added.
While the pope has never called out Russia by name, his rhetoric in denouncing the war on Ukraine has grown progressively stronger.
“War not only devastates the present but also the future of a society. I have read that one in two children have been displaced from the country since the start of the attack on Ukraine,” he said.

Yeah tell that to Putin. Leftist fool.
Do that and the DemocRATs won’t have anything to rally support for themselves.
Yep! Great idea, Jorge! Let’s see if anyone will listen.
The Ghost of Woodrow Wilson.
Isn’t that what the League of Nations was supposed to do? As long a man exists in this physical realm, there will be wars. The best we can hope and pray for is that there will be long times of peace between them.
The left wants to run rough shod over us, and use our children as sex objects and doesn’t want us to retaliate. No wars please! Wars hurt people!
Shut up Francis.
Do you want the families of Raytheon, Lockeed Martin and Boeing to starve?!?
Not very Christian of you.
Maybe the Pope is worried that Putin keep rolling and liberate the Vatican?
Q: And what do you do if someone starts a war?
A: Declare war on them.
This is one moronic Pope.
Democrats and Neocon RINOs want to egg the U.S. further into this, some here at FR support that, when we need to stay out of this.
Abolishing war is just as easy as abolishing fake popes it seems 🤪
Il Papo... he doesn’t miss much does he. Jumping from The Vatican to ancient Greece, only the dead have seen the end of war.
By Papal Decree. By Divine Edict.
Attaboy, Frank, ya freakin’ fraud.
The Jimmy Kimmel of Popes.
Gadzooks!
Why doesn’t he just say it’s time to abolish evil? Or abolish sin?
I think first we need to make crime illegal.
Ain’t gonna happen, Francis. Not as long as mankind is mankind.
There have been wars since the earliest days humans were on this planet. As long as there is greed, envy, enmity, power, emotion, jealousy, covetous humans, etc., there will be wars.
That is the nature of many humans. And that is not going to change.
Actually, NATO is playing this game appropriately in most aspects - arm the Ukrainians while strengthening the eastern edge of NATO. Stay out of direct combat action.
Soviet and Chinese weapons have flowed freely into any combat zone we’ve been in since WWII.
It’s how wars work, and the elites cash in on the chaos they’ve caused. Absolutely ZERO American combat forces in this mess. That cannot be allowed.
We’ve given enough blood.
That’s a nice dream. But it’s only a dream. Anyway, Francis can get the ball rolling by disbanding his Swiss Guards.
