Vatican City, 10 June 2014 (VIS) –
The Holy Father has sent a telegram of condolences to Cardinal
Jean-Pierre Kutwa, archbishop of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, for the death
of Cardinal Bernard Agre, archbishop emeritus of Abidjan, who passed
away in Paris yesterday, Monday 9 June, at the age of 88.
The Pope expresses his sadness and
recollects “this faithful pastor who, during a long and fruitful
episcopate, served the Church with faith and generosity. With his
intense pastoral activity, the late cardinal was a man of God,
devoted to the proclamation of the Gospel and the human and
spiritual development of the people”.
