Pope Francis on Thursday called for
fewer arms and more food around the world, and for more vaccines
and fewer rifles.
Addressing a peace conference at the Colosseum involving world
religious leaders and organized by the Sant'Egidio community,
Francis said "let us defuse fundamentalism in the name of
peace".
He said "you cannot play with the lives of peoples and
children".
The life of the peoples of the world should not be left "prey to
nationalism", the pontiff added.
