Pope disgusted by 'barbarous attacks' in God's name

Pope Francis celebrated mass with tens of thousands at the university of Nairobi.

Earlier the pope met
with religious leaders from other faiths to call for religious reconciliation in Africa and across the globe.


Francis was speaking in the Kenyan capital the scene of the Westgate shopping mall shooting carried out by Somali Islamist group al-Shabaab.

Pope Francis: “Here I think of the importance of our common belief that the God whom we seek to serve is a God of peace. His holy name must never be used to justify hatred and violence.”

Pope Francis shared a platform with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta.


After Kenya the pope will travel to Uganda and the Central African Republic.
