“European Catholic bishops are calling for the urgent need for a de-escalation and solution to Russia's aggression on Ukraine. "We ask: what else must happen so that finally an end is put to this 'madness of war'?”
“PP in his homily in Kazakhstan reiterated his call for peace in Ukraine and to all conflict-torn areas of our world, praying that humanity may never grow accustomed to war. "How many deaths will it still take before conflict yields to dialogue for the good of people, nations and all humanity?"”
“However, the pope's strong remarks in words such as "armed aggression" and "no valid strategic reason" counters those of Putin who has described his invasion of Ukraine as "a special military operation" not designed to occupy territory but to destroy the military capabilities of Ukrania.”
