US, Zingaretti: ‘Trump’s remarks against the Pope are an unprecedented attack’

Brussels, 13 April (LaPresse) – “Donald Trump’s remarks against the Holy Father represent an unprecedented attack not only on the Pope himself, but on religious freedom, the dignity of spiritual institutions and the cause of peace. This is not a matter of political disagreement: it is an explicit attempt to subjugate moral authority to the logic of propaganda.” This was stated on Facebook by Nicola Zingaretti, head of the PD delegation to the European Parliament. “We stand with the Pope: with a peace that is unarmed and disarming, founded on justice, not on conflict. What is needed now is a clear stance from the Italian Government. Silence is not an option. We choose without hesitation: we stand with those who disarm the world, not with those who set it ablaze,” he added.
