Papal Condolences for the Christian Girls Beheaded in Indonesia

From the Vatican Information Service:

VATICAN CITY, OCT 30, 2005 (VIS) - At midday today, Holy See Press Office Director Joaquin Navarro-Valls released the following declaration to journalists:

"Upon learning the painful news of the barbaric murder of three Christian girls in Indonesia, the Holy Father ordered Bishop Joseph Theodorus Suwatan M.S.C., of Manado to offer the families of the victims and the diocesan community his most heartfelt condolences, and gave assurances of his fervent prayers to the Lord for the return of peace among that people."

For those who did not hear about it from the mainstream media, 3 Christian girls were beheaded and three other students were wounded in the eastern Indonesian province of Central Sulawesi on Saturday. You can read more about it here. Apparently, some of the extremists of the religion of Peace were hard at work again. May God comfort those who mourn the loss of their children, especially at the hands of such murderous vermin.
