A valorização da vida e a construção da paz na diplomacia do Papa Francisco frente ao confronto Rússia-Ucrânia

Abstract

This present article intends to discuss the diplomatic role of Pope Francis not as only a religious-catholic leader, but as a leader who pays attention to emerging global issues speaking to all men and women of good will for the construction of a “new world”. The pontifical ministry throughout hiistory has always positioned itself tin the face of events that affects people’s life having as a prerequisite the peace construction. This is still a contemporary problem with so many conflicts around the world and it is evident that we are living a “third world war to pieces”. Currently, it is inquestionable the humanitarian crisis in the context of the War between Russia and Ukraine and, in contrast, the efforts of Francis’ pontifical diplomacy to a ceasefire and the attempt to build peace in world fraternity based on the valorization of life and in human-evangelic values.
