Pope Benedict XVI is sending a delegation, including top Vatican officials and New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, to Damascus to express solidarity with the Syrian people suffering in their country's civil war.
The group will consist of seven churchmen, including Dolan and the Holy See's top official for inter-religious dialogue, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran.
Bertone said church leaders "cannot be simple spectators" given the "immense" suffering in Syria, and said they are convinced the solution must be a "political" one.
