(ANSA) – VATICAN CITY, MARCH 18 – “A war always, always, is the defeat of humanity”. The Pope said this in an audience with the participants in a conference on education.

“We who work in education are defeated by this war”. “There are no just wars, they do not exist”, the Pope reiterated, highlighting that “war is within reach”, “here in Rome, at the Bambino Gesù there are children injured by the bombings”.

“We are used to hearing news of distant wars: Syria, Yemen. Get used to it. Now the war is approaching, it is practically at home, and this makes us think about the ‘wildness’ of human nature, up to where we are capable … murderers of our brothers “, the Pope said again in the audience in the Vatican.

Always with the heart turned to Ukraine also the Pope’s message to the European bishops: “The heartbreaking cry for help from our Ukrainian brothers pushes us” to “cry with them and work for them; to share the anguish of a people wounded in their identity, in their history and tradition “. “The blood and tears of children, the suffering of women and men who are defending their land or fleeing the bombs shake our conscience. Once again humanity is threatened by a perverse abuse of power and partisan interests, which condemns defenseless people to suffer all forms of brutal violence “. (HANDLE).
