Archbishop Inácio Saúre of Nampula has called for an end to violence in Mozambique, drawing parallels between the recent assassination of Bishop Dom Osório Citora Afonso and the biblical betrayal of Jesus Christ. Speaking at Dom Osório's funeral, Archbishop Saúre suggested that individuals close to the bishop may have been involved in his murder, describing it as an act of hatred rather than love. He emphasized that such betrayal by trusted individuals would be a significant scandal. While acknowledging the gravity of the suspicions, the Archbishop urged for mercy and conversion instead of vengeance, stating that those who commit murder are not acting freely but are in need of redemption. He praised Dom Osório's pastoral dedication and service to the Church and community, noting that the bishop lived his mission fully and met a tragic end without seeking it. The Archbishop expressed hope that Dom Osório's death would serve as a turning point, urging the nation to abandon its culture of violence and physical elimination of adversaries.
The Archbishop's powerful message links a specific tragic event to broader societal issues of violence and calls for a moral and spiritual transformation in Mozambique.
