Catholic Church Decides To Name March 08 As "Black Sunday" To Pray For Justice For Victims Of Easter Sunday Attacks

The Catholic Church has decided to name Sunday the 07th of March as "Black Sunday" in protest of the inaction on perpetrators of the Easter Sunday attacks.

On "Black Sunday", all eatablishments belonging to the Catholic Church in Sri Lanka will pray for justice for victims of the brutal terror attacks which claimed nearly 300 lives. The followers of te Catholic Church will visit their churches clad in black for prayers next Sunday.

Colombo Archbishop Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith has severely criticised the current government's course of action with regard to the Easter Sunday attacks. President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa sought a mandate at the last Presidential Election to take stern action against those responsible for the terror attacks.

Cardinal Ranjith recently said he would go to international courts if the Sri Lankan government failed to mete out justice to the victims of the carnage.

"Catholic will also seek justice from God as no one can evade that process," a frustrated Cardinal said.
