Pope Francis’s condolences for the Easter Easter was placed on the morning of Easter Tuesday in the building of the Archdiocese of Catholics of Athens and at the Holy Catholic Cathedral of St. Dionysius of Areopagite, on the University.

Faithful who arrive in the temple write in the book and pray for the rest of the Roman Catholic Church, who was a particularly beloved person, and beyond the Catholics community. Later in the afternoon – from 18.30 onwards – it is expected to perform a function in favor of Pope Francis both in Saint Dionysius and most of the temples of the Catholic Church of Greece.

The Archbishop of Catholics of Athens, Theodoros Kontidis, is also present in the area, who in his statement noted that “we have a great deal of emotion in the Catholic world for the event, the death of Pope Francis, who occurs during the Easter period, which has an optimistic message. And that’s why, “he adds,” the emotion is important and we also see that many people are shared beyond the borders or boundaries of the Catholic Church. “

The Archbishop of Catholics of Athens points out that “on the other hand it is a reason for joy and thanksgiving for what Pope Francis has done all these 12 years. For the testimony he gave, for the example he gave, for encouragement, for the attention of ordinary and humble people or those who are oppressed or those who are at risk for various reasons. He developed such diverse relationships with people of other peoples, other religions. He visited countries small, perhaps without much importance to the biscuit chessboard, but he always paid attention to the young and those who for alpha or beta are in the regions, he said. It was intended that we must approach the regions, that the Church must be present in the regions. A church that is more extroverted and mostly closer to modern man. With his own problems, whoever this modern man is, a church capable of hearing and understanding and then saying what he wants to say. But first of all he understands the man he has against her. And this freedom he had towards wealth, glory, influence, all of which were left not only in the hearts of high, officials in the Church or Hierarchy, but also to all clergy and all the faithful. We all have a message and an example of taking Pap Francis’ life. ”
