The Indonesian Bishops’ Conference (Konferensi Waligereja Indonesia – KWI) has expressed deep sorrow over the recent wave of violence, standing in solidarity with ordinary Indonesians who are suffering amid economic hardship and political tension.
“In the spirit of building human fraternity and the common good, the peace of the heart is the heart of peace,” says Father Sebastiano D'Ambra, an Italian Missionary priest who works in the Philippines.
The head of the bishops’ conference in the Philippines on April 6 urged voters not to be swayed by surveys or disinformation on social media as May 9 national and local elections draw near.
