“Everyone Can & should Contribute to Peace,

 At a time in which international diplomacy seems to have lost its appeal and effectiveness everywhere, Cardinal Pietro Parolin has reiterated the Holy See’s firm support for multilateralism, stressing the importance of inclusive approaches to peace.

Solutions to conflicts should never be imposed unilaterally

“Everyone can contribute to peace, but solutions must never be pursued through unilateral impositions that risk trampling on the rights of entire peoples,” he said,  “otherwise, there will never be a just and lasting peace.”

The Vatican Secretary of State shared this view with Alberto Ceresoli, editor of the Italian local newspaper L’Eco di Bergamo. In the wide-ranging interview Cardinal Parolin addressed several pressing geopolitical issues, including the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, the changing situation in the Middle East and the role of Europe in the geopolitical challenges of our time.

Central to his reflection was that solutions to conflicts should never be imposed unilaterally, as such approaches prevent the establishment of just and lasting peace.

A glimmer of hope for the Holy Land

Regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he expressed  cautious optimism about the temporary and precarious truce in place: “It is certainly good news both because its fruits are beginning to be seen—such as the release of Israeli hostages and the increased entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip—and because there is hope that it could be the beginning of a permanent ceasefire, which would put an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza and the rest of Palestine.”

By seeking to understand and appreciate the diversity of perspectives, cultures, and experiences that make up our global community, we can move towards a more inclusive and peaceful world. Spacious Mindedness : Cultivating a spacious mind involves developing the capacity to hold multiple perspectives and ideas without feeling threatened or defensive. When we approach disagreements with curiosity and openness rather than fear or judgment, we cre...
