In an interview for a Franciscan podcast, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Secretary of State of His Holiness, discussed the “worrying” geopolitical situation and said that world leaders “are not very sensitive or attentive to the voice rising from the grassroots.”
“The message that comes to us today from St. Francis, who echoes Jesus’ message, is to love everyone, even our enemies,” said Cardinal Parolin. “It is only from this love that we can draw hope: a love that is all things to all people and that seeks to build a reality of peace.”
