On 24 January 2024, the head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis, said that only weapon manufacturers win in wars, the official website of the Vatican reports.
According to the Pope, "the logic of hatred and violence can never be justified, for it denies our humanness."
"War itself is a denial of humanness," he declared and called for "unceasing prayer for peace, for an end to conflicts, for the renunciation of weapons and help for the tormented population".
Recalling the wars in Palestine and Ukraine, the Pope called on all, "especially those with political responsibility, to preserve human life by putting an end to wars".
"Let us not forget that war is always a defeat, always; only weapon makers benefit," the pontiff said.
As earlier reported, the Pope said the war in Ukraine benefits arms dealers.
