To be Christian is to be open and welcoming to others, Pope Francis said as he celebrated Mass outside Hungary's Parliament building.

Francis' visit to Hungary is bringing him as close as he's come to the front lines of the war.

In this week's episode of Inside the Vatican, Gerry and Ricardo discuss women being able to vote in the synod, the pope's visit to Hungary and Archbishop Paglia's statement about euthanasia.

Mentioning some areas of common ground with Victor Orbán’s government, Pope Francis described as “ideological colonization” efforts to promote acceptance across Europe of “so-called gender theory.”

Pope Francis is expected to encourage solidarity in the face of the ever greater humanitarian crisis arising from the war in Ukraine and to appeal for an end to the war.

In his weekly general audience, Pope Francis describes the witness to evangelization provided by monks and nuns, whose prayer sustains the mission of the Body of Christ.
