The Pontiff believes that the use of weapons to protect the Motherland from the aggressor is not contrary to morality.

Arms supplies to Ukraine to defend against Russian aggression are “morally acceptable”. This is what Pope Francis said when answering questions from journalists, returning from Kazakhstan, Reuters reports.

The pontiff responded in this way to the question of whether it is morally right to send arms to Ukraine.

“It is a political decision that can be morally acceptable if it is made under conditions of morality,” he said.

The Pope laid out the “just war” principles of the Roman Catholic Church: they allow the proportionate use of lethal weapons to defend against an aggressor.

“Self-defense is not only legal, it is also an expression of love for the Motherland. Who does not defend himself, who does not defend something, he does not love,” the Vatican leader believes.

According to him, the supply of arms can be said to be immoral if the intention is to instigate a new war, sell arms or remove arms that a country no longer needs.

“Motivation is what most defines the morality of this action,” Pope Francis summed up.

It will be remembered that on Tuesday, September 13, the pope arrived on a visit to Kazakhstan.

On Wednesday, September 14, Pope Francis met with a delegation of the Russian Orthodox Church during his visit to Kazakhstan. He also called for unanimity in condemning the war and religious justifications for it.
