"Homicidal Madness that Misuses God's Name to Kill..."
‘We are dealing with a homicidal madness which misuses God’s name in order to disseminate death, in a play for domination and power.’
Pope Francis stressed this when addressing the diplomatic corps of all ambassadors accredited to the Holy See this morning in the Apostolic Palace, during the annual tradition of exchanging greetings and addressing them.
Acknowledging the suffering that is plaguing the world, he said: “I appeal to all religious authorities to join in reaffirming unequivocally that one can never kill in God’s name.”
“Fundamentalist terrorism is the fruit of a profound spiritual poverty, and often is linked to significant social poverty,” he continued. Only with the joint contribution of religious and political leaders, Francis said, can it be fully defeated.
