Pope: Attacks on Paris "Piece" of World War III; Says No Rel. or Human Justification for Attacks

Pope Francis today (November 14, 2015) called last night's attacks in Paris "a piece" of the "piecemeal Third World War," the Vatican Radio website reports.

In a telephone interview today with the Italian Bishops' Conference official television network, Pope Francis said the attacks are "not human."

"I am close to the people of France, to the families of the victims, and I am praying for all of them," Pope Francis said.

When asked if this is part of the "piecemeal Third World War" the Holy Father has mentioned many times before, Pope Francis said "this is a piece of it," adding "there is no religious or human justification for it."
