Church Fighting Terrorism by Examining Root Causes

NEW YORK (CNS) – Since Sept. 11, 2001, the Catholic Church has worked steadily to overcome terrorism by examining the root causes behind the phenomenon, said the Vatican's nuncio to the United Nations.

Archbishop Celestino Migliore compared the crashing noise of a falling tree to the quieter sound of a growing forest. "What the Catholic Church has been doing in the aftermath of 9/11 is more in the order of a forest that grows and expands every day without much fanfare," he said.
