The National Catholic Register website reports today (May 2, 2011) that the Vatican released a statement this morning on the news that Osama bin Laden had been killed by American forces in Pakistan:
"This morning, following the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the Director of the Holy See Press, P. Federico Lombardi, issued the following statement to reporters:
"Osama Bin Laden -- as everyone knows -- has had the greatest responsibility for spreading hatred and division among people, causing the deaths of countless people, and exploiting religion for this purpose.
"Faced with the death of a man, a Christian never rejoices, but reflects on the serious responsibility of everyone before God and man, and hopes and pledges that every event is not an opportunity for a further growth of hatred, but of peace."
