*** Pope Leo expressed “deep sorrow” over the attack in a July 28 telegram, signed by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican’s secretary of state, and sent to Archbishop Fulgence Muteba Mugalu of Lubumbashi, who is president of Congo’s bishops’ conference.
The pope joined “the mourning of the families and the Christian community,” expressing his closeness and assurance of prayers.
“This tragedy invites us to work even harder for the integral human development of the wounded population of this region,” the pope said.
“His Holiness implores God that the blood of these martyrs may be a seed of peace, reconciliation, brotherhood and love for all the Congolese people.”***
