• A Syrian Chaldean Catholic bishop on Monday warned that an armed intervention in Syria could unleash a "world war", while the Vatican's official newspaper called for more "prudence" from Western powers.
• "If there is an armed intervention, that would mean, I believe, a world war. That risk has returned," Monsignor Antoine Audo of Aleppo told Vatican radio.
• "We hope that the pope's call for real dialogue between the warring parties to find a solution can be a first step to stop the fighting," he said.
• Audo is also the head of the Syrian arm of the international Catholic charity Caritas and has repeatedly warned about the human cost of the war.
• The Vatican daily, L'Osservatore Romano, meanwhile criticised Western powers in an editorial.
