As a spirit of revenge spreads, the bishops renew their call for peace
When a senior priest was shot dead in the Central African Republic, the act was bitterly condemned by the country’s bishops. But they were no less adamant in deploring calls for Christians to rise up and take revenge against Muslims.
“Such projects are contrary to the Gospel and our Church’s aspirations,” the bishops’ conference declared. “All Central Africans should be vigilant. Enemies of peace here wish to create conflict between Christians and Muslims, so as to conclude they can no longer live together.”
