Pope Francis returns from visit to South America
Pope Francis retuned to the Vatican after a visit to three South American countries that lasted July 5 to 13, 2015.
The pope began his trip in Ecuador and from there went on to Bolivia and Paraguay. Wherever he went, enormous crowds greeted him. He insisted on the message of solidarity with the poor and an end to corruption and repression. He paid visits in each country to Catholic institutions that show the face of a Church engaged with the suffering.
