“It was with sadness that I learned of the death of former President Nelson Mandela,” Francis said in the opening line of his telegram to South African President, Jacob Zuma. The Pope sent “prayerful condolences” to the Mandela family, to members of Government and to all the people of South Africa.
“On commending the soul of the deceased to the infinite mercy of Almighty God, I ask the Lord to console and strengthen all who mourn his loss,” Francis wrote.
“Paying tribute to the steadfast commitment shown by Nelson Mandela in promoting the human dignity of all the nation’s citizens and in forging a new South Africa built on the firm foundations of non-violence, reconciliation and truth, I pray that the late President’s example will inspire generations of South Africans to put justice and the common good at the forefront of their political aspirations. With these sentiments, I invoke upon all the people of South Africa divine gifts of peace and prosperity,” Francis ended his telegram by saying.
For what it is worth my two cents worth.
Pope Francis is praising Nelson Mandela!! Not a real shocker! Marxist Socialists! Francis is more concerned about youth unemployment then abortion!!! The mass media is praising Mandela and they do not expose him for the man he was!!
Communist thug and terrorist, Nelson Mandela will not be missed!!! He promoted diabolical communism, co-founded a terrorist organization (Umkhonto) and pled guilty to 156 acts of public violence including the Johannesburg railway station bombing. These are the actions of a wicked man, not a great one. He murdered children with explosives in toys left along the road and made a first world nation into a armed camp. Mandela signed into law a bill legalizing abortion on demand.The law gave girls of any age the sole right to decide whether to have an abortion. You will not hear about this from the mass media!! Evil!!
