The Pope described the international situation as “really disturbing. – Day and night I try to follow what is happening in so many parts of the world. It is said primarily about the Middle East today, but not only there – he noted.
Leon XIV reminded that during Wednesday's general audience in the Vatican, he repeated an appeal for peace. He said then that he did it “in the name of human dignity and international law.” “You have to,” he said, “strive at all costs to avoid using weapons and search (solutions) through diplomatic tools and dialogue.” Let's unite to look for solutions. So many innocent people die, you always need to promote peace – he added.
Danger in the Middle East
During a visit to the Vatican Radio broadcasting center in Santa Maria Di Galeria Leon XIV, he told the journal's envoys in Rai Uno, recalling his missionary service in Peru: – In Latin America many times, also in the mountains, where there were no other possibilities, the signal of the Vatican radio always arrived – he recognized.
– I had a small radio receiver, also while traveling, when I was a general of Augustians, in Africa, in various countries I always listened to messages at night – said the Pope. He thanked the station for this “such important service”.
