Oslo, Norway, Jul 22, 2011 / 13:59 pm
Catholics in Norway are shocked by what appears to be a terrorist attack on government headquarters in Oslo that killed at least seven people and injured another 15 on July 22.
“We are so used to being this quiet little nation where nothing like this happens,” said Fr. Paul Bratbak, the communications director for the Diocese of Oslo, in a July 22 interview with CNA.
“It's just too much to take in at the moment.”
Following the explosion, a gunman opened fire at a youth camp connected to Norway's ruling Labour Party, killing at least 20 youth, according to the Associated Press.
