The cardinal made this appeal Monday when he addressed a congress organized by the Roman Work for Pilgrimages.
At the height of the international debate on a possible U.S. attack on Iraq, Cardinal Ruini said that this support to the United Nations must be given «without ignoring its present limits.»
What is required is «sincere support so that this organization can keep up with the changes and be able to address with authority and success the grave challenges of today and tomorrow,» said the cardinal, who is also president of the Italian bishops’ conference.
