Pope Benedict XVI praised an Italian nun for pardoning her killers as she lay dying from an attack in Somalia that may have been linked to worldwide Muslim anger over his recent remarks about Islam and violence.
Some are asked to give the supreme testimony of blood, as it happened a few days ago to the Italian nun, Sister Leonella Sgorbati, who fell victim to violence.
This nun, who for many years served the poor and the children in Somalia, died pronouncing the word 'PARDON,"' the pope told pilgrims during his traditional Sunday noon appearance. He said "This is the most authentic Christian testimony, a peaceful sign of contradiction which shows the victory of love over hate and evil."
HATE...
Rosa Sgorbati, an Italian missionary who worked in a pediatrics hospital in Somalia under her religious name Sister Leonella, was slain in Mogadishu Sept. 17, the day that Benedict said he was deeply sorry his remarks had offended Muslims.
What he said...
"The emperor comes to speak about the issue of jihad, holy war" ...
"Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." ...
