(ANS \u2013 Vatican City)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Pope Francis sends a video message for the inauguration of the \u201cFaith Pavilion\u201d during COP28 in Dubai, and highlights the need for alliances that promote care for creation and peace. At the heart of Pope Francis\u2019 video message to Dubai for the inauguration of the \u201cCOP28 Faith Pavilion\u201d is the idea of creating alliances for the common good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pope\u2019s message, broadcast on Sunday morning during the event, was entrusted to the Vatican\u2019s Secretary of State, Pietro Parolin, as Pope Francis was unable to attend as planned as a precautionary measure while he recovers from pulmonary inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his video message, the Holy Father expressed his regret for not being present at COP28 and emphasized the inauguration of the Faith Pavilion, as this is the first time that a religious pavilion has been set up within a UN climate change conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pavilion, said the Pope, \u201cattests to the willingness to work together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, the world needs alliances that are not against anyone, but in favor of all,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is urgent that religions, without falling into the trap of syncretism, give a good example. Working together, not for one\u2019s own interests or those of one party, but for the interests of our world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the most important topics currently are \u201cpeace and the climate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pope Francis thus invited all religious representatives to be an example and \u201cshow that change is possible\u201d by bearing witness to sustainable and respectful lifestyles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet us earnestly urge the leaders of nations to preserve our common home,\u201d he said, adding that \u201cthe cries of the poor and the weakest among us whose prayers reach the throne of the Most High.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, the Pope invited everyone to safeguard creation and protect our common home, always seeking \u201cto live in peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the inauguration of the Faith Pavilion, Pope Francis also signed a unified faith declaration, joining religious leaders and representatives from a host of faiths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The declaration seeks to harness the collective influence of faith communities and religious institutions to inspire climate justice globally.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
