Stop war in the name of God: Pope
Pope Francis Wednesday said
war should not be fought in the name of god and appealed for peace in
Niger, where Christian buildings were destroyed in protest against
Charlie Hebdo's Prophet Mohammad caricatures.
"Let us invoke the
lord for the gift of reconciliation and peace; may religious sentiment
never give rise to violence, oppression and destruction. War must not be
waged in the name of god," the Pope said.
During Wednesday's
weekly general audience, the pontiff called for prayers for the victims
of the demonstrations in "beloved Niger".
The Pope concluded the
general audience by expressing his hope "to restablish a climate of
reciprocal respect and peaceful cohabitation, as soon as possible, and
for the good of all".
