VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis on Monday decried the deaths of children in global conflicts, telling a Vatican summit that “nothing is worth the life of a child.”
Francis, who has been critical of both Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and the ongoing violence of the Russia-Ukraine war, did not specify a conflict in his remarks.
“What we have tragically seen almost every day in recent times, namely children dying beneath bombs …is unacceptable,” said the pontiff. “To kill children is to deny the future.”
