Addressing a delegation from the Afghan Community Associationin in Italy, Pope Francis reiterates that religion must never be used to incite hatred and violence, but instead to promote fraternity among peoples.“No one can invoke God’s name to foment contempt, hatred and violence towards others.” Pope Francis strongly reaffirmed this stance on Wednesday as he met in the Vatican with members from the Afghan Community Association in Italy before his General Audience.
He decried that the ethnic diversity that characterizes Afghan society is “sometimes used as a reason for discrimination and exclusion, if not outright persecution.”The Pope also referred to the critical situation on the borders with Pakistan where many Afghans have taken shelter, and where the ethnic Pashtun minority also endures abuse and discrimination.
The Pope remembered that their appeal also applied to ethnic-linguistic-cultural differences which can live peacefully together by adopting a “culture of dialogue as the path; mutual cooperation as the code of conduct; reciprocal understanding as the method and standard.”
