(ANSA) - Vatican City, June 3 - Racism is intolerable but violence is wrong, Pope Francis said on the Grorge Floyd case at his general audience on Wednesday.
"We cannot tolerate nor turn a blind eye to any kind of racism of exclusion and we demand respect for the sacredness of all human lives," Francis said on Floyd's death while being detained by Minneapolis police.
"At the same time we must recognize that the violence of the last few nights is self-destructive and self-harming," the pope added on the violent protests across America in which several people have been killed.
"Nothing is gained by violence, and much is lost," Francis said.
