Pope Francis said that “negotiated peace is better than endless war.” In an interview for the American CBS television, he appealed to countries where wars are ongoing to strive for negotiations and peace.
“I am asking all countries where there is war, stop the war. Let them try to negotiate, let them seek peace. A negotiated peace is better than an endless war,” said Pope Francis in an interview broadcast on the night from Wednesday to Thursday, Polish time.
The Pope prays for peace
In a fragment of a conversation about the Middle East, when asked if he could help in negotiations, he replied: “I can pray. I do it. I pray a lot.”
He said about children from Ukraine: “These children don’t know how to laugh. I tell them something, but they forgot how to smile. And it’s very sad when a child forgets to smile.”
The Pontiff referred to the role of the Church: “I would say that there is always, always a place. If a parish priest doesn’t seem hospitable, I understand, but go look elsewhere, there is always room.
Don’t run away from the Church. The church is very large. It’s more than a temple. You shouldn’t run away from it
