In an apparent retort to Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill's recent use of scripture to justify Russia's aggression in Ukraine, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin has stressed the Holy See's willingness to assist in negotiations in the war in Ukraine and has condemned any justification of the conflict on the basis of Christian values, the Crux website reports today (May 1, 2022).
"Every war, as an act of aggression, is an action against human life and is therefore a sacrilegious act, Parolin said. in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Stampa yesterday.
"Consequently, no justification can be found in the word of God, which is always the word of life, not of death," he added.
