(ANS - Paris) - A few months ago France was scarred by the horror perpetrated by some young people in Paris. Is there anyone among us who has not suffered the shock of those images? Anyone who has not been shocked by the testimony of the survivors? Who is not taken aback by these men who prefer to kill and be killed rather than let life flourish?

• We are stealing the Pope's job!
On 13 March we celebrated the third year of the pontificate of Pope Francis. He really lives up to his name as "pontifex", the one who builds bridges. He has distinguished himself as a man of communion, in a society that strives to build walls and divisions.
For this reason ANS has chosen to launch its new web site close to 13 March. It will be an online communication bridge that aims to improve, update and simplify the way information is presented.
