Rome, Dec. 2 (LaPresse) – Hezbollah? “Clearly, the Church proposes that they lay down their arms and that we seek dialogue.” This was stated by Pope Leo XIV during the press conference on his return flight from Lebanon, as reported by Vatican News. “During this trip,” the Pope added, “I also had personal meetings with representatives of various groups representing political authorities, individuals, or groups connected to internal or even international conflicts in the region. Our work is mainly not a public matter that we declare in the streets; it is somewhat behind the scenes. It is something we have already done and will continue to do to convince the parties to lay down arms, renounce violence, and come together at the dialogue table. To seek answers and solutions that are not violent but may be more effective.”
