VATICAN CITY — The Vatican has strongly condemned the killing of the only Christian member of Pakistan's federal Cabinet, saying it shows that the pope's warnings about the danger to Christians in the region were fully justified.
Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said Wednesday that the slaying was an act of "terrible gravity."
He noted that the slain government minister Shabbaz Bhatti was a Catholic who had met with Pope Benedict XVI in September and stated his commitment to peaceful relations among the religious communities in mainly Muslim Pakistan.
Lombardi expressed the urgent need to defend religious freedom and protect Christians from "violence and prosecution."
