"As men of the Church, we cannot incite Christians to take up arms and to take part in the conflict. We cannot say these things, it is insane. It goes against the Gospel and the Christian doctrine. The situation in which we find ourselves, every individual, even Christian, is free to make his own choices according to conscience."
