Pope Francis made one of his most emotional anti-war addresses today (November 2, 2017), saying during a visit to a U.S. military cemetery that the world seemed to be headed into war bigger than any before, according to the Reuters website.
Francis said a Mass for several thousand people at the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery in the town of Nettuno -- south of Rome -- on the day Roman Catholics commemorate their dead.
The burial ground is the final resting place for 7,860 American soldiers who died in the liberation of southern Italy and Rome in 1943 and 1944 during World War II.
"Please Lord, stop. No more wars. No more useless massacres," the pope said, speaking in a sad improvised homily.
