Pope Francis said on Pentecost Sunday
that it was incredible the evil that men do in war.
"In the world today there is so much discord, so much division,"
he said in his traditional Sunday blessing on the day the
Catholic Church commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit
upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ.
"We are all connected and yet we find ourselves disconnected
from each other, anaesthetised by indifference and oppressed by
loneliness. So many wars, so many conflicts: it seems incredible
the evil that man can do!".
The Vatican has launched a peace initiative in Ukraine which has
been welcomed by Moscow.
Kyiv has stressed that any settlement cannot mean accepting the
cession of sovereign territories.
