Pope Francis yesterday lamented the deaths, injuries, destruction and anguish of t he past two years since Russia's full--scale invasion of Ukraine -- a period, he said, "that is becoming terribly long and whose end is not yet in sight," the Catholic News website reports today (Feb. 26, 2024).
In remarks following the Sunday Angelus, the pope warned that the warr in Ukraine "is not only devastating the region of Europe, but unleashing a global wave of fear and hatred."
While renewing jis "vivid sympathy" and prayers for "the tormented Ukrainian people," the pope pleaded "for the recovery of that little bit of humanity that will allow the conditions of a diplomatic solution to be created in the search for a just and lasting peace."
