| The committee of the bishopric of Monor II gathers in expressing our profound shock and sadness at the recent appalling attacks on Telos IV and on Anobis. We join with our colleagues across the Empire in offering our deepest sympathy and prayers to all affected.
The Priest Prince has today chaired a meeting of the Monor II Commission for the Protection of the Faithful looking at what the implications of the attacker’s actions may be for Monor II. Security services are to examine whether 'adequate scrutiny' is being applied to anti-Imperial extremists on Monor II.
Where terrorists justify their actions with reference to positions which they may call religious, this reflects ignorance and breeds suspicion and mistrust. This has a direct relevance for all those working for good inter faith relations. We know that religious teachings – of any tradition – can be distorted and used as justification for brutal acts of violence that have no place in any society, nor any true foundation in any faith tradition. In the Galaxy, people of different faiths coexist as part of one society. We are committed, as people of faith, to discerning our shared values and building on these – alongside all people of goodwill - to strengthen our society.
His Most Holy Majesty Priest Prince Agapos IX
Divine Ruler of Monor II, Lord of the Heavens, Charioteer of the Wagon of the Sun, Steersman of the Barque of the Sun, Guardian of the Secret Knowledge, Lord of the Horizon, Keeper of the Way, the Flail of Mercy, the High Born One, the Never Dying King &c
