Pope Francis answered questions about avoiding the use of the word "Rohingya" while in Myanmar, during his flight back to Rome this evening.

Pope Francis asked for forgiveness Friday from refugees in Bangladesh for all the hurt and indifference Muslim Rohingya have endured.

While in Bangladesh Pope Francis continued to avoid the "R" word in his calls to aid refugees from the Rakhine State.

Although he named no countries, Vatican observers believe he is referring especially to political leaders in several western and eastern European countries.

"These threats to so many vulnerable immigrant and refugee families must end now."
