CWN Editor's Note: In what has become a weekly appeal for peace at the conclusion of his weekly public audience, Pope Francis spoke on January 29 about the deteriorating situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

“As I pray for the swift restoration of peace and security, I call on local authorities and the international community to make every effort to resolve the conflict through peaceful means.” The Pope called attention to the new bloodshed in the city of Goma and rioting in the nation’s capital, Kinshasa.
