Pope Benedict XVI has added his voice to Italian religious and civil leaders in calling for the immediate release of 17-month old Tommaso Onofri, who was kidnapped from his parent’s northern Italian home on March 2nd.
The kidnapping appeared to be organized but parents and authorities fear that the two men who took Tommaso were unaware that he suffers from a severe form of epilepsy and must be given medicine twice a day.
