The Vatican Press Office Director Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi's
responded to journalists' questions on yesterday's killing of Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. Father Lombardi stated:
Osama bin
Laden - as we all know - was gravely responsible for promoting division and
hatred between peoples, causing the death of countless innocent lives, and of
exploiting religions to this end.
Faced with the death of a man, a Christian
never rejoices, but reflects on the serious responsibility of each and every
one of us before God and before man, and hopes and commits himself so that no
event be an opportunity for further growth of hatred, but for peace.
Let us remember before the Throne of Grace all those who have died on 9/11 and those who continue to suffer from the effects of this attack.
