Pope Francis, in a condolence message for an attack in Waukesha, Wisconsin that left five dead and dozens injured after a man deliberately drove his car into a Christmas parade, said he hoped spiritual strength would triumph over violence. A message sent in his name by the Vatican secretary of state to the Roman Catholic bishop of Milwaukee on Tuesday said the pope wanted to assure his closeness to all affected. "He joins you in asking the Lord to bestow upon everyone the spiritual strength which triumphs over violence and overcomes evil with good," it said.
