Pope calls for peace

Last Updated 04 May 2018, 03:15 IST

The pontiff reflected on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks during remarks to the faithful at the end of an outdoor Mass he was celebrating in Ancona, an Adriatic port city.

The pope said, “I invite the leaders of nations and men of good will to always refuse violence as the solution to problems, to resist the temptation toward hatred and to work in society, inspired by the principles of solidarity, justice and peace.”

On Saturday the Pope sent a message to the United States, through a letter to New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, the head of the US Catholic bishops conference, in which he insisted that violence never be carried out in God's name.
