Pope remembers victims of the September 11 attacks in the USA and renews call for peace

SIC Notícias13 September 2026 at 16:07

Pope Francis remembered the victims of the September 11 attacks in the United States during a general audience. The pontiff renewed his call for peace at a time when, according to him, conflict and violence afflict many of his brothers and sisters.

The Pope invited everyone to pray that God grants the gift of peace to the world. This message was delivered during the general audience held in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican. The call for peace comes in a context of persistent international tensions.

Why this matters

Although the article concerns an international religious figure, it directly relates to events that occurred in the United States rather than reporting on Portuguese or European affairs. Portuguese readers may have personal connections to the events through family or travel, and the Pope's peace message resonates in a broader European context of ongoing global conflicts.

This beach in the Algarve is among the cleanest in the world and to get there you have to take a boat

The Beach of Cabanas de Tavira, in the Algarve, was highlighted in 2025 as one of the cleanest in the world, accessible only by boat from the quay on Avenida Ria Formosa, in the center of the town, on a journey of less than five minutes to the island. With about seven kilometres in length, the beach is part of the Ria Formosa Natural Park and maintains the Blue Flag, a distinction that assesses criteria such as water quality, environmental management, safety and education. Maintaining environmental conditions involves work from local authorities and awareness campaigns from Taviraverde, a municipal company, against plastic pollution.
