Pope Francis listed on Monday what he considers to be the main threats to global peace and human dignity, including the wars dominating the public conversation at the moment but also the "despicable" practice of surrogate motherhood.
In a speech before the ambassadors accredited to the Vatican, Francis said that peace is "increasingly threatened, weakened and in some part lost" in different parts of the world. He specifically mentioned Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which is closer to beginning its third year.
