Details, from Vatican Radio:\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The chairman of the U.S. bishops\u2019 Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs expressed the bishops\u2019 prayerful solidarity with the Sikh community in the United States following the August 5 shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this time of grief, we Catholics mourn with our Sikh brothers and sisters,\u201d said Bishop Denis Madden, auxiliary bishop of Baltimore.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe share a warm and fruitful friendship, as well as a love of God and a belief in the community of all people, making yesterday\u2019s tragedy all the more painful and difficult to comprehend.\u201d<\/p>\n

A gunman killed six people and critically wounded three others after opening fire during a worship service at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

Bishop Madden added, \u201cThe U.S. bishops stand with the Sikh community and reject all violence, particularly violence inflicted out of religious intolerance. We are especially saddened that this horrendous act was carried out in a house of worship against people joined together as a family to worship God. Our prayers are with everyone touched by this, especially those who\u2019ve lost family members and loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

The gunman who opened fire at the Temple near Milwaukee on Sunday has been identified as a 40-year old veteran of the United States Army.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
