Pope urges international community to step in and stop the war in Middle East

Pope Leo appealed on Sunday (June 22) to the international community to stop the war in the Middle East 'before it becomes an irreparable abyss.' During the traditional weekly prayer from St. Peter's Square, the pontiff referenced 'alarming news' coming from Iran, where nuclear sites were struck overnight by U.S. forces as it joined an Israeli assault on the country.
