Pope Francis: Condemns ‘Sin’ of Racism, Says ‘Nothing Gained by Violence’

by

From Zenit, an international Catholic News Service –

“Dear brothers and sisters in the United States,” he began, “I have witnessed with great concern the disturbing social unrest in your nation in these past days, following the tragic death of Mr George Floyd.” “My friends,” the Pope said, “we cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life. 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”.

  1. This is a nice sentiment, but it would’ve been exponentially more powerful and authoritative had the actual present Pope himself – Pope Benedict XVI (reigning since April 19, 2005) – said it, instead of the foul Antipope Bergoglio.
