Pope Francis has called on world leaders to work together to resolve the conflicts in the Middle East, the Christian Today website reports today (October 10, 2015).
At the Synod of the Family in Rome yesterday, he urged all 270 bishops and cardinals to pray for peace and reconciliation. He also condemned "relativism," warning it was a temptation of the devil.
Addressing the synod, the Pope said: We are painfully affected and we follow with great concern what is happening in Syria, in Iraq, in Jerusalem, and the West Bank... War brings destruction and multiplies the suffering of the people."
He urged the international community to "use the instruments of international law, diplomacy, to resolve the current conflicts."
