APPEAL TO THE HOLY FATHER
For a solemn message to the world, in defense of peace
Your Holiness,
In this dark hour of human history — when the path of dialogue and reason is being abandoned — we, the faithful, citizens, and people of conscience, turn to You with both reverence and urgency.
As did Your predecessors — Benedict XV during the First World War, Pius XII in 1939, and John XXIII with Pacem in Terris — we humbly ask You to issue a solemn, global, and unambiguous message addressed to the leaders of nations and to all peoples.
Not a regular exhortation, not a brief mention in a homily or Angelus, but a special message, spread through all available means of mass communication, so that it may reach the halls of power, the parliaments, the homes, and the hearts of the world.
Peace today needs a word that is unarmed and disarming.
A word that leaves no room for ambiguity, that rises above political mediation, that boldly calls for an end to the path of war — for a return to negotiation, international law, and the dignity of every human life.
Your Holiness,
Your voice can still awaken the conscience of the world. History is waiting for a sign.
