CWN Editor's Note: Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Secretary of State of His Holiness, decried the Iranian government’s repression of its citizens, rued the possibility of war over Greenland, and expressed hope that the “great uncertainty” in Venezuela might develop into democracy and an improved economic situation.

Fielding questions from journalists on January 17, Cardinal Pietro Parolin said that “solutions by force cannot be used” in Greenland and that threats to do so are “unacceptable.”
