Pope condemns spread of antisemitic demonstrations

RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY(REDNA) – Pope Francis delivered a speech to European rabbis denouncing antisemitism, war and terrorism.

He strongly condemned the spread of antisemitic demonstrations and said believers in God are called to build fraternity and reconciliation.

People should search for their neighbour and certainly not “the brusque passion of vengeance and the folly of bitter hatred”, he said.

He declined to read his speech as he was not feeling well, but handed it instead to the rabbis.
