History's first Latin American pope is particularly devoted to Marian iconography.

Cardinal Kevin Farrell announced today that Pope Francis plans to attend the ninth World Meeting of Families, from Aug. 21 to 26,

“There is no such thing as harmless disinformation; on the contrary, trusting in falsehood can have dire consequences.”

The annual meeting in Davos brought together people representing business, government, academia and media to discuss the theme, "Creating a Shared Future in a Fractured World."

"I judged they were prepared. They knew what they were doing."

“I ask forgiveness,” the pope said on his flight from Lima to Rome. “It’s a hurt [caused] without wishing it.”
