Pope Says Invasion Is "Perverse Abuse of Power;" Russian Aggression Has Innocent People Suffering

 According to Pope Francis, the "tragedy of the war" taking place in the heart of Europe "leaves us astonished," and it is threatening humanity, all because of a "perverse abuse of power" that is condemning innocent people to endless suffering, the Crux website reports today (March 19, 2022).


The "heartbreaking" cry for help of the Ukrainian people is a call not only to serious reflection but also to action, to "share the anguish" of those whose identity, history, and tradition have been wounded.


"The blood and tears pf children, the suffering of women and men who are defending their land or fleeing from bombs shake our conscience," he said.
