CWN Editor's Note: Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Pope’s Secretary of State, has written a telegram of condolence in the Pope’s name following a school shooting that left 11 dead in Örebro, Sweden.
The Pope “offers prayers for the repose of the souls of those who have died,” and “consolation of their grieving families and friends, and for the speedy recovery of the injured,” Cardinal Parolin wrote.
“Violence and shootings only seem to increase and increase,” Cardinal Anders Arborelius, OCD, of Stockholm said in a separate statement. “We ask for God’s help so that goodness and harmony may prevail in our country.”
