Pope Francis at Prayer Vigil Says War 'Defeat for Humanity'
Pope Francis called for reconciliation and dialogue in Syria on Saturday as he led a mass vigil for peace in the war-torn country.
"In beloved Syria, in the Middle East, in all the world, let us pray for reconciliation and peace, let us work for reconciliation and peace," the pope said.
"War always marks the failure of peace, it is always a defeat for humanity."
