Pope: war is absurd, let’s disarm the Earth
In a letter to the editor of Corriere della Sera, the Pope calls for reiterating a call for peace and disarmament
n a recent letter to the director of the Corriere della Sera, Luciano Fontana, Pope Francis reiterated the absurdity of war and the urgency of promoting peace. The Pontiff emphasized how human fragility, accentuated by illness, can provide a clearer perspective on what truly matters, distinguishing between the ephemeral and the eternal. This awareness invites us to reflect on the direction we are taking as individuals and as a community.
Pope Francis urged everyone, especially those working in the field of information, to foster reflection and understanding. He highlighted the need to “disarm words to disarm minds and disarm the Earth,” indicating that only through calm and respectful language can we hope to reduce tensions and promote a climate of dialogue. He also recalled the importance of religions in strengthening diplomacy and international organizations, drawing on the spiritual riches of peoples to rekindle hope in brotherhood and justice.
The Pope concluded his letter by urging everyone to actively engage in the mission of promoting peace, reminding that the Jubilee represents an opportunity to renew commitment to the works of mercy and to build a more just and fraternal world. This message invites us to reflect on our role in the world and the importance of working together for a future of peace and solidarity.
