28+ min ago (772+ words) ISRAEL AT WAR - DAY 784 Pope Leo condemned violence in the name of religion on Friday at a landmark event with Christian leaders from across the Middle East, urging them to overcome centuries of heated divisions during his first overseas trip as leader of the Catholic Church.
