Catholic Bishops of Europe Appeal for Peace in Ukraine | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Catholic bishops in Europe are appealing for peace in Ukraine. The call came during a meeting of Church leaders in Belgium. The Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Union (COMECE) met for 3 days late last week. The bishops asked leaders on both sides of the war in Ukraine to come together to find a peaceful solution to the conflict, nearing its 8th full month. Vice President of COMECE and the bishop of the Diocese of Essen, Bishop Franz-Josef Overbeck, joins to tell us more about this assembly, who was in attendance and what was said, especially about the continuing war in Ukraine. At the end of the meetings the bishops released a statement about the war. Bishop Overbeck discusses why it was important for that to happen. The next meeting will be in Rome and will feature the election of a new president. The VP of COMECE shares when this meeting will be held and how important the role of president is for COMECE.
