Pope Francis thanked former US President BIll Clinton for his work on the most important global issues—citing climate change, humanitarian crises, and threats to world peace—during a September 18 talk to the Clinton Global Initiative.
“No to war, no to war,” the Pope repeated. He next urged action to stop a looming ecological disaster “while there is still time.”
In his talk the Pope also spoke about the work of the Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital. The Vatican-affiliated institution is sponsoring scientific research on children’s diseases, while at the same time caring for the victims.
