Pope says Holy Land conflict wounding ‘defenseless’ in Easter message
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePope Francis says the Holy Land is “experiencing… the wounds of ongoing conflict that do not spare the defenseless,” in his annual Easter message.
The pontiff is also calling for an end to “carnage” in Syria and for “reconciliation” in the Middle East in the “Urbi et Orbi” (To the City and the World) address.
“Today we implore fruits of peace upon the entire world, beginning with the beloved and long-suffering land of Syria,” Francis says.
Appealing to the “consciences of all political and military leaders,” Francis urges “that a swift end may be brought to the carnage.”
