Pope Francis leads a mass in Heroes' Square, in Budapest, Hungary, September 12, 2021. REUTERS/Remo CasilliBUDAPEST, Sept 12 - Pope Francis called on Sunday for vigilance against a rise in anti-Semitism, saying during a brief trip to Hungary this was a "fuse that must not be allowed to burn."
"I think of the threat of anti-Semitism still lurking in Europe and elsewhere," the pope said in an ecumenical meeting in Budapest with leaders of other Christian religions and Jews. The survey, published in July and taken during 2019-2020, said there were fewer anti-Semitic acts such as vandalism and physical assault in Hungary compared with other European countries.
He said Christian leaders should commit to what he called an education in fraternity to stand up against outbursts of hatred.
