PAPAL TELEGRAM FOR THE ATTACKS IN INDONESIA


VATICAN CITY, OCT 14, 2002 (VIS) - Following is the telegram sent by Cardinal Secretary of State Angelo Sodano, in the Holy Father's name, to Archbishop Lorenzo Fratini, apostolic nuncio in Indonesia, upon the attack Saturday, October 12, in Bali:

"His Holiness Pope John Paul II has been deeply shocked by news of the terrible attack in Bali which has caused many deaths and injuries and he asks you to convey to the civil and religious authorities the assurance of his prayers for the victims, commending them to Almighty God and invoking divine strength and comfort on the injured and on all affected by this tragic event. Such cruel and misguided violence cannot be the path to a more just and civil society, and it must be condemned by all who aspire to a world of peace built on respect for the inviolable dignity of every human life."
