Русская версияPope Benedict XVI has condemned a sharp rise in violence against
Christians in India.
The pontiff said he was profoundly saddened by
attacks that have left at least nine people dead, mostly
Christians, in the eastern state of Orissa. Benedict also said from
the Vatican that the killing of a Hindu leader that sparked the
clashes was deplorable. Hindu mobs have attacked people and damaged
churches and Christian homes this week after the murder of the
Hindu head in a district where Christian missionaries have been
active.
