PAPA LEONE “L’ARTIGIANATO DELLA PACE PRENDA IL POSTO DELL’INDUSTRIA DELLA GUERRA”

“The hope we announce must be with our feet on the ground: it comes from heaven, but to generate a new story here. Instead of inequality, instead of the war industry there is the handicraft of peace. Weavers of hope, let’s head towards the future for another path.” So Pope Leo during the Angelus.
