Pope Francis on Friday
called on leaders to focus more on creating cultural coalitions
than military ones after receiving the Charlemagne Prize.
"Today we need to be able to create coalitions, no longer
just military or economic ones, but also cultural, educational,
philosophical and religious ones," he said.
"Coalitions that highlight that the power games of
economic groups are often behind many conflicts.
"Coalitions capable of defending people from being used
for improper ends.
"Let's arm our people with the culture of dialogue and
encounter".
