" We must disarm words, to disarm minds and disarm the Earth . There is a great need for reflection, for calm, for a sense of complexity ." Thus the Pope in a passage from a letter sent to the Corriere della Sera .
The letter, dated March 14 , is addressed to the director, Luciano Fontana, who had sent Bergoglio a message of good wishes asking him if he wanted to intervene with an appeal.
“Human frailty,” writes the Pope, “has the power to make us more lucid with respect to what lasts and what passes, to what gives life and what kills .”
"War - Bergoglio continues - does nothing but devastate communities and the environment, without offering solutions to conflicts, diplomacy and international organizations need new life and credibility ". "Religions - we read in the last lines - can draw on the spirituality of peoples to rekindle the desire for brotherhood and justice, the hope of peace".
