I am greatly saddened by the death of Pope Francis and offer condolences to the worldwide Catholic community

“I am greatly saddened by the death of Pope Francis and offer condolences to the worldwide Catholic community. Pope Francis was a tireless advocate for the marginalized, a champion of interfaith dialogue and cooperation, and a true friend to all who sought to build a more just and peaceful world. His efforts to combat Antisemitism and all forms of hatred and prejudice were not just a moral imperative, but a call for solidarity, unity, and mutual respect for the Other.”
