(Vatican Radio)  During his stay in Krakow the Holy Father will be residing at the Archbishop’s residence in the heart of the city.  This was the home of the Cardinal Archbishop of Krakow, Karol Wojtyla before his elevation to the See of Peter.  It was from the window of this residence that Pope John Paul II greeted his fellow countrymen on his many papal visits over the course of his pontificate and on Wednesday evening Pope Francis continued that tradition speaking to crowds of young people below. He told them he could see that they were here with great joy in their hearts. Then he said to them that he had some bad news to tell them. Let us be silent, the Pope said, as he spoke to them about a 22 year old WYD volunteer who died on the 2nd of July of cancer having been diagnosed in November of last year. This boy, the Holy Father said had worked very hard for this World Youth Day and had even booked to travel with him on a tram ride during this fe...

(Vatican Radio)  Referring to recent acts of violence including the killing of a priest in France, Pope Francis said on Wednesday that the world is at war but stressed “it is not a war of religions but for power. "There is one word I wish to say to clarify." "When I speak about "war" I'm speaking about a war for real, not a "war of religions." It is," he continued, “a war about (economic) interests, money, natural resources and the domination of peoples." All religions, he said, "desire peace. Other people want war." Right!" The Pope was speaking to journalists accompanying him on the plane from Rome to Krakow in Poland.   Pope Francis began his remarks by noting that the word which is being repeated very often now is “insecurity” but, he said, the real word is “war.”  The world is at war, a piecemeal war. There was the 1914 war with its methods, then the 1939-45 one and now t...
