Vatican City, Oct 17, 2018 / 03:22 am (CNA/EWTN News).- A person may not have killed someone, but if they are angry or have hate toward another person, it is like they have killed him or her in their heart, Pope Francis said Wednesday.

To insult or hate someone, or to have contempt, is a way of “killing the dignity of a person,” the pope said Oct. 17.
