Pope 'appalled' by deadly shipwreck of migrants in Greece
Pope Francis, very sensitive to the theme of migration, is "deeply dismayed" by the shipwreck that claimed the lives of at least 78 migrants in Greece, one of the worst in recent years, the Vatican reported Thursday in a press release.
“His Holiness Pope Francis sends his sincere prayers for the many migrants who died, their loved ones and all those who have been traumatized by this tragedy,” reads a telegram signed by the N.2 of the Holy See, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and published by the Vatican.
