"I urge the authorities and the people" of the United States "to maintain a high sense of responsibility so that spirits are calmed and democratic values ​​are protected and national reconciliation is promoted". Pope Francis said this at the Angelus. "I extend an affectionate greeting to the people of the United States, shaken by the recent siege of Congress", were the words of the Pontiff, "I pray for those who have lost their lives. Violence is always self-destructive, always. We must keep the culture of care alive. ".
