In his Sunday sermon on January 10, 2020, Pope Francis condemned the storming of the Capitol in Washington, calling on the authorities and the US population to "a high sense of responsibility." It is reported by Vatican News.
Commenting on the events that took place in Washington on January 6 and killed five people, the head of the RCC stressed that "violence is always auto-destructive" and "it yields no gains" but "results in losses" instead.
“I call on the government and the entire population to maintain a high sense of responsibility in order to soothe souls, support national reconciliation and protect democratic values ingrained in American society,” he said.
Let us remind you that the Pope reacted to the Euromaidan in Ukraine with a statement that he "prays for peace and harmony of the beloved Ukrainian people." At the same time, the head of the UGCC (structure of the Catholic Church) Sviatoslav Shevchuk urged members of his Church "to come to the Maidan, to feel the mood that reigns there." Bishop of the UGCC Boris Gudziak stated that half of the activists on Euromaidan are members of the Uniate Church.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the Catholics of Belarus are calling for protests "with a pitchfork in their hands and love in their hearts."
