Aboard the flight from Singapore to Rome, Pope Francis spoke to journalists about the civilian tragedy of the war in Gaza and the need for Americans to choose in conscience between Harris and Trump. He condemns abortion and the rejection of migrants, and expresses a positive view of the agreement wi Pope Francis reminds Singapore to ‘care for the fragile’On the flight back to Rome from Singapore, Pope Francis spoke to the journalists accompanying his Apostolic Journey to Asia and Oceania.
And then Singapore’s international role. Well, I saw that next week there’s a Formula 1 race. The international role of a capital that attracts different cultures; it is a great capital. I didn’t expect to find something like that.You know, there’s always something to learn, because every person and country have different riches. That’s why fraternity in communication is so important. For example, in Timor-Leste, I saw many children, but in Singapore, not so many.
This is a common problem in developing nations. That’s why it’s important, as the Church’s Social Doctrine says, to ensure communication between different sectors of society. You said Indonesia is a developing country, and one area that perhaps needs development is the social relationship. I enjoyed my visit; it was beautiful!
It’s a country with an ancient culture, a capacity for dialogue to understand each other that goes beyond the different systems of government it has had. I believe China is a promise and a hope for the Church. Collaboration is possible, and certainly for conflicts. Cardinal Zuppi is working in this area, and he has contacts with China.Your Holiness, you have always spoken in defence of the dignity of life.
And we need to be clear about this: sending migrants away, not allowing them to grow, not letting them have life is something wrong, it is cruelty. Sending a child away from the womb of the mother is murder because there is life. And we must speak clearly about these things. “No, but however...” No “but however.” Both things are clear. The orphan, the stranger, and the widow—do not forget this.
I can’t say whether this war is excessively bloody, but when you see the bodies of children killed, when you hear that schools are bombed because guerrillas might be inside, it’s horrifying. It’s horrible, it's horrible. I'll answer the last question: I will not go to Paris; I will not go to Paris. As for the first question, you’ve touched on a very painful and delicate point. These are good people, people who did good, like Abbé Pierre. With all the good done, it’s discovered this person is a serious sinner. This is our human condition.
