There is a reference to current events in Pope Francis' address to a delegation from the Latin American Rabbinical Seminary, coming from Argentina, received at the Vatican on December 2. In his words, the pain of the war in Ukraine. “This war bothers me; it makes me suffer. Brothers against brothers, but not only this one. To think that in a century there were three world wars: 39-45, 14-18, and this one. To think that if weapons were not made for a year, world hunger would end, because I think it is the biggest industry. To think that a war is waged when an empire feels weak, so it kills to feel strong and to use the weapons it has to sell or give away to make new ones. It makes me suffer to see those drones that were circling Ukraine test. That they are new weapons that they are testing, at the expense of people who die”.
