Agama tidak bisa membenarkan kekerasan

Dalam sebuah surat yang dikirim kepada Uskup Agung New York Mgr Timothy Dolan, ketua Konferensi Waligereja Amerika Serikat, beberapa menit lalu untuk memperingati peristiwa 11 September 2001, Paus Benediktus XVI mengatakan:

"The tragedy of that day is compounded by the perpetrators’ claim to be acting in God’s name. Once again, it must be unequivocally stated that no circumstances can ever justify acts of terrorism.

"Every human life is precious in God’s sight and no effort should be spared in the attempt to promote throughout the world a genuine respect for the inalienable rights and dignity of individuals and peoples everywhere."
