TELEGRAM FOR KIDNAPPING OF ITALIAN CHILD


VATICAN CITY, MAR 7, 2006 (VIS) - Cardinal Secretary of State Angelo Sodano sent a telegram, in the Pope's name, to Bishop Cesare Bonicelli of Parma, Italy, calling for the liberation of the 17-month-old boy Tommaso Onofri, who was taken by force from his parents' home near Parma on March 2.

  "The Supreme Pontiff unites himself to Your Excellency's appeal for the immediate and unconditional release of little Tommaso Onofri, expressing his intense solidarity to parents and family members struck by such acute anguish for the brutal kidnapping of their relative. And, while entrusting the child to the special maternal protection of the Most Holy Virgin, he gives assurances of special recollections in his prayers and sends a heartfelt and comforting apostolic blessing."
