Vatikanen: 100 000 demonstrerar mot krig i Syrien
The Washington Post rapporterar att 100 000 personer följde Påvens uppmaning att demonstrera idag mot planerna på ett angrepp mot Syrien.
Vatican: 100,000 answer pope’s call, fill St. Peter’s Square for Syria peace vigil
VATICAN CITY — Tens of thousands of people filled St. Peter’s Square for a four-hour Syria peace vigil late Saturday, answering Pope Francis’ call for a grassroots cry for peace that was echoed by Christians and non-Christians alike in Syria and in vigils around the world.
The Vatican estimated about 100,000 took part, making it one of the largest rallies in the West against proposed U.S.-led military action against the Syrian regime following the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack near Damascus.
Francis announced the day of fasting and prayer Sept. 1, alarmed at the acceleration of U.S. threats to strike Syria after the chemical weapons attack.
Since then, the Vatican has ramped up its peace message, summoning ambassadors for a briefing by the Holy See foreign minister. Francis appealed directly to world powers at the Group of 20 meeting in Russia, urging them this week to abandon the “futile pursuit” of a military solution in Syria and work instead for a negotiated settlement.
Den nya Påven fortsätter att imponera genom sitt engagemang i viktiga frågor.

Och plötsligt lyssnar islamisterna och slutar mörda? Eller stiger gud ner och stoppar helvetets demoner från att tugga i sig fler? Nej? Kan inte påven åka och snacka med al-qaida och få dom försvinna från landet?
