VATICAN CITY, DEC 31, 2005 (VIS) - Cardinal Secretary of State Angelo Sodano has sent a telegram of condolence in the Holy Father's name to Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina, for the victims of the fire that destroyed a discotheque in that city in the early hours of this morning.
"His Holiness John Paul II, deeply saddened on learning the painful news of the many dead, among them so many young people, resulting from the fire that broke out in a Buenos Aires discotheque and that has filled many families of the beloved Argentinian people with mourning, offers his prayers for the eternal repose of the deceased and raises an appeal to the Lord that He may give comfort and serenity to those who weep the loss of their loved ones. I ask Your Eminence to pass on the Holy Father's deepest condolences to the families of the victims and to express his paternal solicitude and closeness to all the injured, at the same time as he imparts a heartfelt apostolic blessing".
