Pope writes to Cardinal Ranjith expressing his support

The Archbishop of Colombo, Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith says that His Holiness Pope Francis has written to him expressing solidarity with his attempts to seek justice for the victims of the Easter Sunday attacks. 

He revealed this during a discussion held yesterday with Sri Lankans living in Europe, held via video conference, to brief them on the investigations into the Easter Sunday terror attacks and the actions they are expecting to take on the matter in the future. 

Cardinal Ranjith said that the Holy Father Pope Francis had written the letter, dated 19th September, in his own handwriting and in response to a letter sent by him previously.
