(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 7 - Femicide is born of the urge to
possess the other, Pope Francis said at his general audience on
Wednesday.
"Possessiveness is the enemy of goodness and kills affection,"
said the pontiff in St Peter's Square.
"It is the enemy of good and kills affection: the many cases of
violence in the domestic sphere, of which we unfortunately have
frequent news, almost always arise from the claim to possess the
affection of the other, from the search for absolute security
that kills freedom and suffocates life, making it hell."
"We can love only in freedom, that is why the Lord created us
free, free even to say no to Him", said Francis. (ANSA).
