Pope decries US synagogue attack as ‘inhuman act of violence’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePope Francis calls the deadly attack on a synagogue in the United States “an inhuman act of violence,” expressing his “closeness to the Jewish community.”
A man suspected of bursting into the synagogue in Pittsburgh yesterday during Shabbat services and gunning down 11 people has been charged with murder, in the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in recent US history.
“We are all, in truth, wounded by this inhuman act of violence,” Francis says at the end of the Angelus prayer in Saint Peter’s Square.
“May the Lord help us put out the flames of hate that develop in our societies, strengthening the sense of humanity, respect for life, moral and civil values and holy fear of God.”
