The spiritual leader of Catholics and the Head of State of Vatican, Pope Francis, indicated while leading a ceremony in Vatican that he was having difficulty breathing, and asked his assistant by his side to finish his speech. In the frame of the traditional “Jubilee” year celebrated by the Catholic world every 25 years, Pope Francis, who receives different professional groups at Vatican at certain intervals, conducted a special ritual today for around 30,000 military delegates from various countries, mostly Italian security forces. Due to suffering from bronchitis, Pope, who postponed some meetings since the beginning of the week, conducted a special ritual for security forces in St. Peter’s Square in Vatican in cold weather for about 2 hours. Pope Francis, who is 88 years old and postponed or conducted certain receptions with limited possibilities due to suffering from bronchitis since the beginning of the week, seemed tired and struggling during today’s ritual. The spiritual leader of Catholics, during the ritual, said, “I apologize, I am having difficulty breathing,” and asked his assistant to read his speech. In Pope’s speech for the security forces, the expressions “I kindly request that you do not lose sight of the aim of your service and actions: to support life, to save lives, to always defend life. Please be vigilant. Be alert against the allure of nourishing the spirit of war.” were included. Pope Francis emphasized that service in the armed forces should only be for legitimate defense purposes and should never have the goal of establishing sovereignty over other nations. In the final part of the ritual, Pope personally delivered his speech for the Sunday prayer, calling on believers to pray for peace in Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Myanmar, the Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan, stating, “Let weapons fall silent everywhere.”
