Pope Francis: Call for peace from the hospital!

Pope Francis' health remains stable, although he is currently hospitalized. In a recently published letter to the Italian daily newspaper “Corriere della Sera,” the 88-year-old Pope said that he found the war “even more absurd.” This is particularly striking as he places his illness and human fragility in the context of the global struggle for peace. In his response to a call from editor-in-chief Luciano Fontana, Francis emphasized the power of words and called for a responsible approach to human communication. “Words disarm to disarm the earth,” was his powerful message, underscored by the urgency of igniting new hope for peace in a time of conflict, it reported oe24.
