Fr.
Lombardi SJ: murderous hate offends reason, human nature
(Vatican
Radio) There is no justification, no explanation, for such acts of violence as
were committed in Paris on Friday evening, for they are basically irrational
and therefore offensive to human dignity. This was the message of the Director
of the Press Office of the Holy See, Fr. Federico Lombardi, SJ, who spoke
briefly with journalists in the Sala Stampa on Saturday afternoon, fielding
questions in connection with the Paris attacks.
“Murderous
hatred is something that does not have an explanation. It is a negation of
rationality, a negation of humanity, and there can be therefore no explanation
for such [phenomena], save that of a profound wound, a completely erroneous
vision of reality,” said Fr. Lombardi.
Asked
whether the attacks in Paris were attacks against Catholicism, Fr. Lombardi
responded, “No: they were attacks against humanity.”
Fr.
Lombardi went on to say that questions regarding increased security in and
around the Vatican and the Holy Father would need to be addressed by those
responsible.
