STOP SHEDDING INNOCENT BLOOD – POPE FRANCIS TELLS ISRAEL, HAMAS
Leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis has called for a halt to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Pope Francis made the call via an official statement released on his verified X handle on Sunday afternoon. He said “I continue to follow with great sorrow what is happening in Israel and Palestine. I renew my appeal for the freeing of the hostages and I strongly ask that children, the sick, the elderly, women, and all civilians not be made victims of the conflict.
“Humanitarian law is to be respected, especially in Gaza. Please, let no more innocent blood be shed, neither in the Holy Land nor in Ukraine, nor in any other place! Enough! Wars are always a defeat, always!
“Prayer is the meek and holy force to oppose the diabolical force of hatred, terrorism and war. I invite all believers to join with the Church in the Holy Land and to dedicate next Tuesday, 17 October, to prayer and fasting.”
