Catholics urged not to give in to hatred after French priest's death

People hold a banner with a picture of French priest Father Jacques Hamel, which reads, "Where there is hatred, let me sow love," after a July 27 Mass at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Father Jacques Hamel was killed in a July 26 attack on a church at Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray near Rouen by assailants linked to Islamic State groups.

WASHINGTON – While Catholics mourn the senseless killing of a beloved French priest church leaders have emphasized that shock and grief over this attack cannot fuel hatred against Muslims or immigrants.
