Pope Francis addressed a host of international themes in his annual new year's meeting with the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See. He highlighted key challenges facing our world and affecting everyone, such as the war in Ukraine and the"wake of death and destruction" it leaves behind, with people dying not only from bombs but also from hunger and cold.
In this area, Pope Francis expressed particular concern about the stalemate in negotiations over the Iran nuclear agreement and hopes for an immediate solution for"the sake of ensuring a more secure future."The Pope then focused his thoughts on Ukraine and condemned attacks on civilian infrastructure that"that cause lives to be lost not only from gunfire and acts of violence, but also from hunger and freezing cold.
He then urged a"ceasefire" in the South Caucasus, calling for"the release of military and civil prisoners." Regarding Yemen, he denounced the deaths of civilians due to landmines, despite the ceasefire, while on Ethiopia, he urged the international community to strengthen its commitment to tackle the humanitarian crisis.
"Women can offer their unique contribution to the life of society and to be the first allies of peace."And peace also demands that we defend life, a good today endangered"all too often even in the mother’s womb, through the promotion of an alleged right to abortion,” says the Pope."No one, however, can claim rights over the life of another human being, especially one who is powerless and thus completely defenseless.
