Street artist Jorit was received by Pope Francis, according to the Ansa agency, to whom he presented a screen print of Nelson Mandela. It is Ciro Cerullo himself who speaks on social networks about the meeting with the Pontiff, whom he defines as a “human being for peace”. In a comment on the post, Jorit explains that he wanted to entrust the work to the Pope “to thank him for his constant and deep commitment to peace. In his last statements – the artist continues – we feel his concern about the imminent possibility of the outbreak of a third world war, which would mean the end of humanity as we know it.
The meeting took place a few days after Jorit found himself at the center of a controversy over a selfie with Vladimir Putin while attending a youth event in Sochi. Other controversies affect Pope Francis, after his call to open negotiations on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. kyiv's call in particular was read as an invitation to capitulation. Jorit recalls that in the Pontiff's latest statements “we sense his concern about the imminent possibility of the outbreak of a third world war, which would mean the end of humanity as we know it. More precisely, I wanted to offer a screen print of Nelson Mandela to remind us how the West today closes itself to any dialogue with Russia, hiding behind a supposed defense of “democratic” values. it is the same West which yesterday supported apartheid in South Africa, which maintains relations with dictatorial states around the world, even though it does not directly support them, and which today supports the massacre of the Palestinian people .
Jorit then insists on the attack against the West which “cannot give lessons in democracy to anyone and if he considers Putin to be a bloodthirsty monster, then he can all the more sit down at a table to dialogue , as long as NATO is the biggest and most monstrous machine. of death that the history of humanity has ever conceived. I invite all Italian Catholics to unite with secularists and progressives to create a united front against a world increasingly in the hands of war-mongering and reckless extremists. We must regain clarity, we must immediately open peace negotiations with Russia. There is no more time, we must act immediately, before it is too late. »
