The Church “must not use the language of politics, but the language of Jesus”, Pope Francis told Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill during a video meeting Wednesday about Ukraine, the Vatican said.
VATICAN CITY, Holy See —
Francis, the head of the Catholic church, told him that “we must unite in the effort to help peace, to help those who suffer, to seek ways of peace, to stop the gunfire”, according to a Vatican statement. The pope concluded by expressing his sorrow for all those killed, saying: “War is never the way.” A statement from Patriarch Kirill’s office had earlier said the two leaders urged negotiations to reach a “just peace”, and discussed how to handle the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.
The Argentine pontiff said in December — before the war — that he was ready to go to Moscow to visit Kirill, with whom he had a historic meeting in Cuba in 2016.
