After passing of Pope Benedict my sympathy is with global Catholic community around the globe and the Holy See.

Benedict XVI will be remembered as theological leader striving for a synthesis between faith and reason and his efforts for global peace and justice.

Yet another senseless and massive Russian missiles attack on Ukraine, indiscriminately destroying infrastructure and medical facilities, deliberately targeting and killing civilians

Statement on behalf of the European Union on additional restrictions by the Taliban to the right of education of girls and women:

http://europa.eu/!DvvKdV
