Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal
Pietro Parolin said Thursday that he wishes Donald Trump well
after his victory in this week's United States presidential
election, adding that he hopes he will end the polarization that
has developed in the country in his new term in office.
"We wish him much wisdom because that is the main virtue of
rulers, according to the bible," Parolin said
"I believe that, above all, he has to work to be the president
of the whole country and so overcome the polarisation that has
occurred, which can be very very clearly felt at the moment.
"Then we hope that he can really be an element of détente and
pacification in the current conflicts that are bleeding the
world.
"He said it will bring wars to an end. Let us hope, let us hope.
"Of course, not even he has a magic wand".
