More than 3,000 questions were submitted after the initiative was announced a
|
|
month ago, of which seven were chosen and put to the 84-year-old pontiff.
|
|
|
|
The Pope, speaking from his office in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican,
|
|
admitted there was no answer to why humans have to suffer as he responded to a
|
|
question from a seven-year-old Japanese girl who was caught up in the tsunami.
|
|
She asked why so many children had to suffer in natural calamities.
|
|
|
|
"I ask myself the same question," the Pope said. "We don't have the answers,
|
|
but we know that Jesus suffered as innocent children suffer."
|
|
|
|
The programme, In His Image, was recorded last week and aired on Italian state
|
|
television on Good Friday.
