Frontiers
It’s Time to Move Forward
I was in Italy when I learned of the killing of Fr. Fausto Tentorio, a member of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions (PIME). Immediately after, I started receiving calls and messages from the Philippines and Italy expressing solidarity. I said to myself that Fr. Fausto Tentorio is the third PIME priest killed in the Philippines – Fr. Tullio Favali in 1985, Fr. Salvatore Carzedda in 1992, and now Fr. Fausto. After this thought came the realization that Fr. Tullio was killed in the context of living in a parish to help the Christian community to grow; Fr. Salvatore in the context of dialogue between Christians and Muslims; and now Fr. Fausto, who lived with the tribal people.
