"The situation with the coronavirus is different from the Charlie Hebdo incident, because this is neither a religious nor a political conflict. In 2015, the political opposition was looking for a way of stirring up an uprising in order to be able to overthrow the government of the day, and the Church was a handy scapegoat. But I believe that with the coronavirus they will not venture to attack the Christians in the same way."
