Pope Francis yesterday called for a "sincere dialogue" between Christians and Muslims as he met grieving relatives and survivors of France's Bastille Day attack, in which a jihadist ploughed his truck into a crowd, the Newsmax website reports today (September 25, 2016).
The pope -- declaring "there is no God of war" -- met 180 people who were wounded or left traumatized or bereaved by the July 14 attack in Nice, France, which claimed 86 lives.
"We need to start a sincere dialogue and have fraternal relatives between everybody, especially those who believe in a sole God who is merciful," he said, adding this was "an urgent priority."
The pope added, "We can only respond to the devil's attacks with God's works which are forgiveness, love, and respect, for the other [religion] even if they are different."
