"It's war and we don't have to be afraid to say this," Pope Francis told journalists while he flew to Kraków for World Youth Day (WYD). Initially, I balked at such a bold statement. Hearing the word 'war' made me wince. Yet, after such a deliberate attack on the Faith, as the murder of Fr Jacques Hamel undoubtedly was, it also stirs feelings of fear and unease, even if, here in Kraków, the news didn't reach all pilgrims straightaway. Minus Wi-fi and often a fully charged phone, we can be left a little disconnected.
