Pope FRANCIS, during the mass attended by around eighty pilgrims from the northern French diocese of Rouen where the attack took place, condemned the killing.
He described the late French priest as a martyr and a gentle man who was killed like a criminal.
JACQUES HAMEL was killed on July 26, while presiding over an early morning mass for a handful of parishioners in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray.
