Pope Francis is worried
about the crisis in Greece and wants to express his closeness to
the Greek people, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi
said Wednesday.
The pontiff also said that people's dignity should be a
prime factor in the political debate, with Athens facing a
possible financial meltdown after missing a debt repayment
deadline Tuesday.
"The news from Greece regarding the economic and social
situation of the country is worrying," Lombardi said.
"The Holy Father wishes to convey his closeness to all the
Greek people, with a special thought for the many families
gravely beset by such a complex and keenly felt human and social
crisis.
"The dignity of the human person must remain at the centre
of any political and technical debate, as well as in the taking
of responsible decisions.
"Pope Francis invites all the faithful to unite in prayer
for the good of the beloved Greek people".
