ROME, September 1 (RIA Novosti) - Pope Francis has written a letter to the residents of the town of Beslan in North Ossetia who are marking ten years since the Beslan school massacre, Italian media reported Monday.

Abbot Paolo De Carli, who sheltered 60 Beslan residents for two months at his monastery in the Trentino province in Italy in 2004, will take Pope Francis’s letter, the contents of which are not disclosed, to North Ossetia, the press service of the Honorary Consulate of the Russian Federation in Bolzano told RIA Novosti.

Paolo De Carli will also take part in the mourning ceremonies that will be organized by the consulate in the coming days.

I believe Beslan was a test run for a larger, simultaneous attack on scores of US schools in several states, in a single day.

Boy, that would cause an outrage in America.

I was on FR the day this horror happened. FR really came through that day. Very nice of the Pope. I wish that idiot Putin would pay more attention to Chechen maniacs rather than expansionism into Europe.

Well, we now have a CIC whose motto is “I just want is good for me and I don’t give a crap about anything else!”

I’m surprised it hasn’t already happened.

Putin is using Chechens in order to expand into Europe, so you need to understand his point of view.

Only among parents whose kids are hurt or killed.

The rest of the nation will just roll over and go back to sleep telling themselves that islam is a ROP.

What else can they do when congress critters are not alarmed about the situation.

If we don’t have children, then we have grand children or great grandchildren, nieces and nephews down the line in school, too.

I think only the stone hearts would roll over. The majority of people would be very upset.

I believe every mosque in America would burn if this happened. Not a threat but just a thought.

Haunting picture. It symbolizes Christianity under attack today.

Beslan was simply a horrific, unfathomable event. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years already. I don’t know if they’re still there, but YouTube had all kinds of videos and footage that our media never showed. It was so much worse than what most people here were told/shown.

It’s the kind of thing these monsters would love to do here.I look at how isolated the local rural schools are here and I just cringe.The Sheriff’s Dept might be able to mobilize in 20 minutes or so,and an awful lot of unarmed people could be shot in that amount of time.

Many don’t understand the peacock feathery downside of the militarization of police. They can make a good show, but ultimately can do no better than the forces there did. You can never make a movie about it as most except us here would believe it. It’s the ultimate horror story except PC thinking throws it on the asheap of history. I won’t.

After six years living in Saudi Arabia I can honestly say that I met some of the best people in the world. But I also met several people that can only described in the old days as “shoot on sight.” Even devout Muslims were afraid of them.

Sorry for the typo. I meant “wouldn’t believe it.”

I have to think they have exactly who they want in charge of the US, at least for now. No need to rile us when they can just sit back and watch us weaken by democratic methods.
