About this sermon
Pope Francis is expressing grief for what he calls a tragic terrorist attack during Mass at a Catholic Church in Burkina Faso. He also condemned the attack against a mosque in the area. The Holy Father says he prays for the souls of the deceased and that hatred is not the solution to conflicts. Burkina Faso is a Muslim majority country ruled by a military junta. In the past 3 years it has seen an increase in attacks on religious groups. President of the Global Situation Room, Brett Bruen, joins to tell us more about these horrific attacks in Burkina Faso over the past 48 hours. Bruen shares what is at play here and what he thinks is fueling these attacks and this violence. Burkina Faso is not the only country in that region seeing an alarming increase in violence and violence against Christians. Bruen speaks about the conditions leading to this. Burkina Faso along with some other neighboring countries left the Economic Community of Western African States. Bruen discusses what led to that break and why that was significant. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
