I not goofing around on World Youth piligram I know one of local Cathoic church that my mom goes send 28 pilgrams to Lisbon Portgual I kinda bias I not goofing on it Francis is widely expected to meet in private with survivors of child abuse during his visit to Lisbon, as he has done on past foreign trips. Opening his first day in Lisbon for the post-pandemic edition of World Youth Day, Pope Francis urged Europe to retake its role as a peacemaker and bridgebuilder. In his opening remarks he hoped to inspire the next generation of Catholics to work together to combat conflicts, climate change and other problems facing the world. “I dream of a Europe, the heart of the West, which employs its immense talents to settle conflicts and lighting lamps of hope,” Francis said. “A Europe capable of recovering its youthful heart, looking to the greatness of the whole and beyond its immediate needs. A Europe inclusive of peoples and persons, without chasing after ideologies.” Francis’ first stop was at the Belem National Palace, the official presidential residence in Belem, west of Lisbon. The event will last for five days culminating with a papal Mass on Sunday. www.euronews.com/2023/08/02/pope-francis-to-arrive-in-portugal-for-world-youth-day-amid-ongoing-sex-abuse-scandal
