'At the same time, we have to recognize that the violence of recent nights is self-destructive and self-defeating. Nothing is gained by violence and so much is lost,' he urged.

CNN Senior Vatican Analyst John Allen said it is 'relatively rare' for the Pope to mention a specific person by name. A Vatican spokesperson told CNN it was a 'special appeal.'

Over the past few days, some Italian soccer teams have knelt in solidarity with US protestors over the killing of Floyd.

Marches against police brutality in solidarity with the unfolding situation in the US have taken place in other European countries, including the UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands.
