Pope calls for openness after meeting Hungary’s Orban
Al Jazeera
Tens of thousands turn out in Budapest to hear Pope Francis, who called for his audience to be ‘open’ and ‘considerate’.
Pope Francis has met Hungary’s anti-migration Prime Minister Viktor Orban on a whistlestop trip to the country in which he called for greater openness, before heading for a four-day tour of Slovakia. During the visit to Hungary on Sunday that lasted just seven hours, the pope had urged tens of thousands thronging the vast Heroes’ Square in Budapest that he wanted them to be “grounded and open, rooted and considerate”. The head of 1.3 billion Catholics has often urged help for the marginalised and those of all religions fleeing war and poverty.More Related News
