Within the framework of World Water Day, which is celebrated every March 22, Pope Francis has published a message on the social network X (formerly Twitter) to raise awareness about its scarcity in some parts of the world.
Specifically, the Holy Father has denounced that many resources could be used for an equitable distribution of water and yet they are used for the production of weapons.
“Today, enormous financial resources and innovative technologies, which could be used to make water a source of life and progress for all, are diverted towards the production of weapons,” laments the Pontiff.
