Pope Francis is the first Jesuit pope to address a general congregation.

The only way for resolution "is through solidarity," where everyone pitches in, says Pope Francis.

Sometimes Pope Francis’ actions are even more eloquent than his words.

'We have a pope who is casual, imprecise and a fan of hyperbole. That is a new, hard thing.'

The pope is seeking to get the government and opposition to negotiate a peaceful solution to the present crisis.

“Behind an attitude of rigidity there is always something else in the life of a person. Rigidity is not a gift of God. Meekness is, goodness is, benevolence is, forgiveness is. But rigidity isn’t.”
