The pontiff, looking strong after recent health problems, renewed his vows on Holy Thursday and reminded the priests assembled in St. Peter’s to look within and repent, “acknowledging with sorrow our duplicity, dishonesty and hypocrisy.”
VATICAN CITY — If any evidence were needed to underscore that Pope Francis’ upcoming trip to Asia and Oceania is the longest, farthest and most challenging of his pontificate, it’s that he’s bringing along his secretaries to help him navigate the four-country program while keeping up with work back home. Francis will clock 20,390 miles by air during his Sept.
Indonesia is home to the world’s largest Muslim population and has enshrined religious freedom in its constitution, officially recognizing six religions: Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Protestantism and Catholicism. Francis is likely to highlight this tradition of religious tolerance and celebrate it as a message for the broader world.
