Bishop Oscar Cantu of Las Cruces, New Mexico, said in a letter Oct. 3 to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson the threat of violence from the North Korean regime cannot be ignored, and the U.S. must work with others in the international community for a diplomatic solution based on dialogue.
Diplomacy and political engagement are necessary to resolve the differences between the United States and North Korea and avoid a military conflict, the chairman of a U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops committee said in a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
U.S. diplomacy could head off violence and instability, as the chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on International Justice and Peace called on Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to undertake efforts to ensure that democratic elections are carried out by the end of the year.
