Pope Francis also expressed an opinion that the terrorist attacks that take place are part of the World War III about which he had warned earlier.

“This is a piece”, the Pope responded.
A “shaken” Pope Francis lamented over the “inhuman” Paris attacks that have left a nation in mourning and said that the bloodbath was an indication towards an impending third World War.
A message that reads, “Paris will always be” is placed at a memorial along a police cordon set-up close to the Bataclan concert hall on November 15, 2015, two days after a series of deadly attacks.
Yesterday the Pope had told a Catholic television channel the attacks were “not human” and said there was “no religious or human justification for it”.
“The path of violence and hatred can not resolve the problems of human and using the name of God to justify this path is blasphemy”, he said.
Pope Francis has reacted to the horrific terror attacks in Paris that claimed over 120 lives. Let us pray in silence for a moment and then, a Hail Mary.
French investigators are chasing down potential leads and questioning the relatives of a man identified as one of the suicide bombers in the Paris attacks. “This is not human”. At last report, at least 129 people were killed, with many more wounded. “May the moderation, temperance and control that has been shown so far, be confirmed in the weeks and months to come; let no one indulge in panic or hatred”. We ask that grace be the artisan of peace.
The Pope said he is pained by the situation of the country and is continuously offering prayers for the victims and their family.
Security has been tightened around the Vatican and across Europe. If we let ourselves be frightened, they will have already reached their first objective. “We must never despair of peace, if you justice”, he said.

“I would say that the Jubilee of Mercy shows itself even more more necessary”, Fr Lombardi added.
