TO BE FORGIVEN BY THE POPE, MUGABE HAS TO REPENT (Letter published in Dom Post, May 2)

There’s no need for Stephen Edlin (Points, May 2) to be confused by Pope Francis, ‘a man of the people’ welcoming the despot Mugabe. To be forgiven by the Pope - or any Catholic priest – Mugabe must first ask for forgiveness, in other words repent. It might help Edlin to recall also that Jesus Christ kept the evil Judas by his side until the end.
