Catholic Action Austria (KAÖ) President Kaineder welcomes Pope Leo XIV’s clear words against the war in the Middle East. (8.4.2026)

Dear members of Catholic Action (KAÖ), and everyone interested in KA!

‘Pace e bene’ – it sounds a bit shaky these days, but it needs to be spoken and acted upon with courage.

Catholic Action Austria (KAÖ) welcomes the clear words of Pope Leo XIV against the war in Iran and its escalation by US President Donald Trump. “It is high time that the negotiating tables were brought to the centre,” emphasises KAÖ President Ferdinand Kaineder. “This war has revealed a global machine of hatred that must be shut down immediately by everyone.

In fact, any war waged without restraint
is incompatible with both the law and
basic morality. (World Council of Churches)
