Statement on the passing of Pope Francis
by
Imam Earl Abdulmalik Mohammed

We express our sadness upon hearing of the passing of Pope Francis.
In our world which seems set on the messaging of moral confusion, his was the message of faith, hope, empathy and mercy.
He was the friend of the orphaned and immigrant, the oppressed and misunderstood, and therefore our friend.
We thank Allah for his life and pray for his soul.
