Pope Francis has called for a new style of politics built on peace and pleaded for disarmament, the eradication of nuclear weapons and an end to domestic violence and abuse against women and children.
“Violence is not the cure for our broken world,” he said in his message ahead of the World Day of Peace on January 1.
“It is a challenge to build up society, communities and businesses by acting as peacemakers. It is to show mercy by refusing to discard people, harm the environment or seek to win at any cost,” he added.
