CWN Editor's Note: “Enough with these forms of anti-Semitic violence,” Pope Leo XIV cried, in an emotional response to the mass shooting at an Australian Jewish community celebration.
The Pope made his remarks during an audience with volunteers who had donated the Christmas tree in St. Peter’s Square, and set up the Nativity scenes in the square and in the Paul VI auditorium.
Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Secretary of State of His Holiness, also sent a telegram of condolence in the Holy Father’s name following the attack.
