Speaking to participants in an international conference on anti-Semitism, Pope Francis said that the challenge is to overcome not only outright hatred but also the more widespread problem of indifference.
Francis explained that “it is indifference that paralyzes and impedes us from doing what is right even when we know that it is right.”
The Pontiff cited the poignant question from Scripture: “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Francis said International Holocaust Remembrance Day was needed “to recover our humanity, to recover our human understanding of reality and to overcome so many deplorable forms of apathy towards our neighbor.”
“I do not grow tired of repeating that indifference is a virus that is dangerously contagious in our time, a time when we are ever more connected with others, but are increasingly less attentive to others,” the pope said. “And yet the global context should help us understand that none of us is an island and none will have a future of peace without one that is worthy for all.”
