Journalism : Pope Francis's Gives Important Messages During his Final Day in U.S.

Pope Francis Kicks Off His Final Day in U.S. With Prison Visit, Philadelphia, Mass

By: Tracy Connor and Elisha Fieldstadt

Pope Francis made a historic visit to the U.S. this past week where he ended his visit in Philadelphia. In Philadelphia he talked to victims of clergy sexual abuse. Pope Francis told the victims, "I am profoundly sorry that your innocence was violated by those who you trusted." Francis also visited Prisoners where he told them that everyone has done something that they must be purified for, but "May the knowledge of that fact inspire us to live in solidarity, to support one another and seek the best for others." After the prison visit, Pope Francis heads to a mass this Sunday, September 27, which 1.5 million people are expected to attend in Philadelphia.

I chose this article as I greatly admire Pope Francis. He is the "people's pope" and he really works to solve social issues that are prominent in today's world. His historic visit to the U.S. will hopefully remind all of us whether we are everyday people or politicians, to keep in mind that we are all working towards a greater goal of helping everyone in the U.S. live the American Dream, or at least a life that they are satisfied with. I hope that Pope Francis will leave a lasting impression on U.S. citizens and politicians.
