VATICAN - North Korea is set for a World War 3 showdown with an unlikely source: Pope Francis. North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un has faced opposition to his reckless nuclear programme in countries across the globe - now including the world’s smallest.
The Vatican City is desperately attempting to open a dialogue between Pyongyang and the Holy See in order to avoid a nuclear war. The Pope wants to speak to despot Kim directly, a high-ranking cardinal has revealed, in what would be a historic and unexpected intervention.
Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana, head of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, admitted he was not sure how this could happen but said dialogue was a priority. The wheels were already in motion for an unlikely phone call between Pope Francis and Kim, he said. Cardinal Turkson said: “The dicastery is already in communication with the Korean episcopal conference to see how we may have contact also with the regime on the other side.
“We are exploring the possibilities of speaking to them directly. We cannot say right now exactly when this contact will happen.” The Vatican does not have diplomatic relations with North Korea, which is top of the list of states in which Christians are persecuted.
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
