ROME – In response to the apparent assassination attempt against former United States President Donald Trump at a campaign rally Saturday, the Vatican on Sunday morning voiced concern, calling the incident a “wound” to democracy.
In a July 14 statement, the Holy See Press Office conveyed the Vatican’s “concern over the episode of violence last night, which wounds people and democracy, causing suffering and death.”
The Vatican, the statement said, is “united with the prayer of the United States bishops for America, for the victims, and for peace in the country, so that the logic of the violent never prevails,” it said.
