Telegram from Pope Francis to Boston Cardinal O'Malley:

-- In a telegram to Cardinal Sean O'Malley, archbishop of Boston, a spokesman for Pope Francis said, "At this time of mourning, the Holy Father prays that all Bostonians will be united in a resolve not to be overcome by evil, but to combat evil with good (cf. Rom 12:21), working together to build an ever more just, free and secure society for generations yet to come."

whether they are Christian, Non-Christian, or Athiest, will care for their fellow humans simply because it is the right thing to do. They don't need RELIGION to tell them that.
