About this sermon
Pope Leo XIV sends a message of deep sorrow after Islamist militants killed more than 30 people at a Catholic parish in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In a telegram to the head of the Bishops’ Conference of DR Congo, the Holy Father said he joins in mourning with the victims' families and the Christian community. An armed group linked to the Islamic State launched the attack on Saturday. They stormed the church during a vigil service and shot and killed nearly three dozen worshippers. Father Don Bosco Onyalla, Managing Editor at EWTN's ACI Africa, joins to share what we know about the attack and whether any suspects have been identified. He also discusses how Pope Leo XIV's message has been received within the Christian community. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
