Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher Receives Award for Diplomatic Work | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher received an award in Rome for his diplomatic work in promoting peace. The current situation in Ukraine and Israel are the topics which Archbishop Gallagher focused on, emphasizing the Holy See's work. Archbishop Gallagher is effectively the Vatican's foreign minister under Pope Francis. He was presented with a special peace award for his efforts in trying to end war and conflict and bring about peace throughout the world. After global leaders and influential political figures met Pope Francis, Archbishop Gallagher held private meetings with them, in many cases to lobby for the end to conflicts and offer ways the Catholic Church can assist in bringing about peace. While accepting the award, Archbishop Gallagher spoke about the Vatican's efforts in the current wars in Ukraine and Israel. He said, "The essence of the work for peace consists not simply in governing processes but rather in establishing a dialogue with those who each time represent the other, even more dare I say, it means creating the conditions so that the other does not appear as an opponent but as an opposite".
