The Pope has given a Christmas day message at the Vatican, focusing on the ‘inexcusable folly’ of war. The Pope also used his sermon at Midnight Mass to offer his solidarity with people in the Middle East – and condemn the ‘futile logic of war’. Francis, 87, told 6,500 people inside St Peter’s Basilica: ‘Our hearts are in Bethlehem, where the Prince of Peace is once more rejected by the futile logic of war’.
