Pope Francis today (September 13, 2020) addressed the wave of protests that have swept through the globe this summer -- some of which have turned violent -- issuing an appeal for peaceful demonstrations, according to the Crux website.
"While I encourage the protestors to present their requests in a peaceful way, I appeal to all those who have public and governing responsibility to listen to the voice of their citizens." he said.
Speaking to local Catholic communities where these protests are taking place, the pope urged faithful, "under the guidance of their pastors,. to operate in favor of dialogue, in favor of reconciliation."
