Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor and noted political cartoonist, Carlos Latuff, who shares the following illustrated radio listening reports, all covering the ongoing Los Angeles Wildfires.
Part of Vatican Radio’s news bulletin (in Portuguese), listened in Porto Alegre:
“In a telegram to the Archbishop of Los Angeles, in the United States of America, Dom José Gómez, Pope Francis expressed his sadness at the loss of life and the widespread destruction caused by the fires that have hit this region of California. In a message signed by the Cardinal Secretary of State, Pietro Parolin, the Holy Father assures his spiritual closeness to the affected communities and entrusts the souls of the deceased to the loving mercy of Almighty God, sending his sincere condolences to those who mourn their loss.
The Pontifex also prays for the emergency teams and grants his blessing to all as a promise of consolation and strength in the Lord. To date, at least 11 people have died and 150,000 have been evacuated due to the devastating fires that hit the Los Angeles region. In addition to the loss of human lives, the fire left a trail of destruction with economic losses of between 135 and 150 billion dollars.”
