The Vatican said Thursday that Pope
Francis is praying for the victims of the terrorist attack in
Nice's Basilica of Notre Dame in which three people were stabbed
to death.
"It is a moment of pain in a time of confusion," said Vatican
Spokesman Matteo Bruni.
"Terrorism and violence can never be accepted.
"Today's attack sowed death in a place of love and consolation,
the house of the Lord.
"The pope has been informed of the situation and is close to the
Catholic community in mourning.
"He is praying for the victims and for the loved ones, and for
violence to stop and we go back to looking at each other as
brothers and sister, and for the beloved French people to be
able react united to evil with good".
