An official at Catholic Church said wide support is being provided by the Vatican City State for a separate independent investigation into the Easter Sunday massacre and related incidents. Several Catholic priests and laymen are currently communicating with the Vatican City State with regard to the matter, he added.
Several churches and hotels were attacked on Easter Sunday in 2019, during the special Easter mass. Pope Francis condemned the terror attack, saying that it was a barbaric action. Pope Francis said that he was deeply saddened and always stayed in close contact with Sri Lankan Catholics who were in pain and agony due to the attack.
Meanwhile, Colombo Archbishop Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith recently alleged the authorities are staging a drama with regard to the Police investigations on finding a hand grenade in All Saints’ Church, Borella.
He stressed that the fight against the Government will be carried out until the truth is discovered about those incidents and he is ready to obtain support from the United Nations and all the powerful nations in the world for that.
