Francis, who is in a hospital with a respiratory infection, spoke via a video message recorded sometime before his health took a turn for the worse, a Vatican says.

“War is madness. It’s beyond reason. Any war, any armed confrontation, always ends in defeat for all,” the pope said in his latest videoed monthly invitation to prayer.
