Pope Francis continued to call for an end to the war in Ukraine Sunday, calling the violence against innocent Ukrainians “inhuman” and “sacrilegious.”
Without mentioning Russia by name, the pope said, “Unfortunately, the violent aggression against Ukraine has not ceased; it is a senseless massacre in which atrocities are repeated every day. There is no justification for this. I plead with all actors in the international community to truly engage in bringing this abhorrent war to an end.”
The pope spoke from his balcony above St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican, following the recitation of the Angelus, a Catholic Marian prayer.
During his remarks, he recalled the Ukrainian refugee children he met during his surprise visit to Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital in Rome on Saturday.
