“Why so much death?” - Pope calls for peace at Easter. “Peace is never created with weapons, but by stretching out hands and opening hearts,” said the church leader on Easter Sunday in front of 60,000 people in St.

Peter's Square in Rome. The Pope's health problems also worried many believers. The 87-year-old has been in poor health for some time. In contrast to previous public appearances, no Vatican employee had to read out his speech.
