Francis laments wars, environmental crisis in 2020's World Day of Peace message (NCR)

Pope Francis laments in his message for 2020's World Day of Peace that the human community "bears the scars of ever more devastating wars and conflicts," calling on Christians to reject systems of security, such as nuclear deterrence, built on fear of others.

In the message, released Dec. 12, the pontiff also ties together his frequent call for global nuclear disarmament with his pleas for a more just economic system and better protection of the environment and natural resources.

"Every war is a form of fratricide that destroys the human family's innate vocation to brotherhood"...

The Pope is right to appeal for peace among nations. The other stuff like economic systems, the managing of the environment etc are secular matters and should resist from alienating nations.

Here's a novelty.

Why doesn't he call for a supernatural cause? Probably for the same reason why he doesn't kneel before the blessed sacrament.

In the world not of it.

Pope Francis appears to be the first secular Pope.

Ivorian Cardinal Reflects on Pope’s World Day of Peace Message, Recalls Decade-old “scars” (ACI Africa)

As Catholic across the globe reflected on Pope Francis’ message for the 53rd World day of Peace marked Wednesday, January 1, 2020, an African Cardinal applied the Holy Father’s text to the situation of his country, recalled a decade-old “wounds which are struggling to heal” and called on his compatriots to take note of the Pontiff’s description of peace as “a great and precious value, the object of our hope and the aspiration of the entire human family”...

Starting off with the Holy Father’s reflection about “terrible ordeals of civil and international conflicts” affecting many nations of the world so that “our human community bears, in its memory and its flesh, the scars of ever more devastating wars and conflicts that affect especially the poor and the vulnerable, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Abidjan in Ivory Coast, Jean Pierre Cardinal Kutwa called to mind the political crisis of his West African country a decade ago...
