ROME, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Pope Francis visited the mostly Muslim country of Albania over the weekend, where he spoke of religious freedom and denounced the use of religion as a pretext for violence.
"Authentic religion is a source of peace and not of violence," the Holy Father said at a gathering of different religious communities' leaders at the Catholic University of Tirana on Sunday. "To kill in the name of God is a grave sacrilege. To discriminate in the name of God is inhuman."
