Pope Urges All Sides in Ukraine Crisis Pull Back; Warns Peace Is Threatened by "Vested Interests"

 Pope Francis is urging all sdes in the Russia-Ukraine dispute to examine their consciences before God and pull back from threats of war, the Crux website reports today (February 23, 2022).


In an appeal at the end of his weekly general audience today, Francis said he was pained and alarmed by developments in Ukraine, which he said "discredit international law,"


Apparently referring to Russia's invasion of Ukraine this week, he said, "Once again, the peace of everyone is threatened by vested interests."
