He Pope Leo XIV This Tuesday he described as “unacceptable” the threat of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, against Iran and asked to do “everything possible” to “say that we do not want war, we want peace.”
“Today, as we all know, there has also been this threat against all the people of Iran. And this is really not acceptable. Here there are certainly questions of international law, but it is much more a moral question for the good of the people, complete and integral,” the pope said in statements to the media in the town of Castelgandolfo.
The American pontiff, who made these statements in Italian and English without expressly citing Trumpinvited us to “pray, but also make our voices heard before American legislators, to say that we do not want war, we want peace.”
“I would like to invite everyone to really think, in their hearts, about the many innocentthe many children, the many elderly: totally innocent people who would also be victims of this escalation of a war that has begun… From the first days we said: let’s return to dialogue, to negotiations. Let’s try to solve the problems without reaching this point,” he added.
Donald Trump threatened this Tuesday to end “an entire civilization” before the ultimatum expired for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, on a day also marked by heavy bombing and diplomatic activity.
The pope insisted on need to return to dialogue and negotiationss: “Let’s try to solve the problems without reaching this point. (…) I would like to invite everyone to pray, but also to find a way to communicate, perhaps with the congressmen, with the authorities, to say that we do not want war.”
“¡Queremos la paz! Somos un pueblo que ama la paz. ¡Hay tanta necesidad de paz en el mundo!”, exclamó León XIV.
Easter Message
He Pope Leo XIV this Sunday lamented the atrocious conflict in Middle East and added that God rejects the prayers of leaders who start wars and have “the hands full of blood“.
“God does not listen to the prayers of those who wage warbut rejects them, saying: ‘Though you pray many prayers, I will not hear them; ‘His hands are full of blood,'” he said, quoting a passage from the Bible, during the celebration of the Palm Sunday that has taken place in the St. Peter’s Squarein the Vatican.
Likewise, the pontiff stressed, before the thousands of faithful present, that at this beginning of the Easter week is “closer than ever,” with its prayer, “to the Christians of the Middle East who are suffering the consequences of a atrocious conflict“.
“We cannot forget those who today participate in a real way in their suffering. Their trial challenges the conscience of all. Let us raise our supplication to the Prince of Peace so that it supports the peoples wounded by war and opens concrete paths of reconciliation and peace”, Leo XIV has cried.
The pontiff took advantage of his speech to ask “for all the migrants who died at seain particular for those who have lost their lives in recent days off the coast of the island of Crete.”
The Greek Coast Guard rescued 26 migrants who were on a rubber boat adrift south of Crete, while another 22 passengers on the boat are feared dead.
