Pope in Panama strongly condemns Philippine church bombing
PANAMA CITY, Jan 28, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Pope Francis strongly condemned
Sunday’s bombing of a Catholic church that killed at least 18 people on the
southern Philippine island of Jolo.
“I reiterate my strongest reprobation for this episode of violence who is
once again plunging the Christian community into mouning,” Francis said
during an Angelus message as he wound up World Youth Day celebrations in
Panama.
