(ANSA) – CITTA DELLA PIEVE (PERUGIA), APRIL 17 – “Ukraine and its people will rise again as Jesus has risen”: this was told to ANSA by cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti, president of the CEI and archbishop of Perugia-Città della Pieve. He did it on the sidelines of the Easter mass celebrated on Easter afternoon in the cathedral of Città della Pieve, an Umbrian village which in these days also sees the presence of Prime Minister Mario Draghi who did not participate in the religious function.
Bassetti said he was “worried about the fate of Europe”.
We hope that reason prevails, respect for freedom, for the peace of peoples “, he added.” But if other instincts and other calculations prevail – said Cardinal Bassetti – we would have to worry “.
Speaking of what is happening in Ukraine, the president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference highlighted that there is “worldwide attention and affection for a crushed people, a nation that has been unjustly invaded”. “Every nation has the right to its own freedom, survival and autonomy and instead we see the strength – he stressed -, the aggression, the arrogance which, as in other situations, are the masters of the world. But love conquers everything and Jesus resurrects “. (HANDLE).
