Pope urges Europe to choose dialogue over military buildup
Original: Pope: Europe must return to path of dialogue, not military buildup, to end ‘senseless slaughter’
The Pope said Europe must return to the path of dialogue rather than military buildup in order to end what he called a 'senseless slaughter', a reference to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The appeal, reported by OSV News, comes amid rising European defence spending and renewed debate over how the conflict should be brought to a close.
Why now: The Pope's call for diplomacy instead of rearmament lands amid Europe's current military buildup and ongoing war debate.
