VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis is backing the U.N.
chief's call for a cease-fire in all conflicts raging across the globe
to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. He also said his thoughts
are with those constrained to live in groups, citing in particular rest
homes for the elderly, military barracks and jails.
During his traditional Sunday blessing, the pope called for ‘’the creation of humanitarian aid corridors, the opening of diplomacy and attention to those who are in situations of great vulnerability.’’
He cited U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ appeal this past week for a global truce ‘’to focus together on the true fight of our lives’’ against the coronavirus.
Francis, as he has throughout most of the coronavirus emergency due to bans on public gatherings, addressed the faithful from his private library in the Apostolic Palace, and not from a window overlooking St. Peter’s Square as is tradition.
