Cardinal
Vingt-Trois: Paris attacks an act of barbarism
The Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal André Vingt-Trois, has issued
a statement condemning the attack in Paris on Wednesday, in which suspected
Islamic terrorists killed a dozen people at the offices of a satirical journal
that had published cartoons of Islamic figures.
“Following
[Wednesday’s] attack at the offices of Charlie
Hebdo,”
says the statement from the Archdioceseof Paris, “Cardinal André Vingt-Trois,
Archbishop of Paris, from Rome expresses his horror and his deep compassion for
the families and friends of the victims. With the Catholics of Paris, he
condemns this act of barbarism and calls for people to work ever more
diligently to build relationships of peace and mutual respect in our society.”
The statement
from Paris goes on to say that the Catholic Church in the city will be
participating in the national day of mourning on Thursday, tolling the bells of
Notre Dame cathedral at noon, and offering Mass for the victims and their
families.
