Pope Francis arrives in Hungary for 3-day visit FMTNews FMTWorld
Pope Francis waves to waiting crowds during the official welcome ceremony upon his arrival in Budapest today.
The visit is his first trip since he was admitted to hospital for bronchitis in March. Francis will preside on Sunday at an open-air Mass in front of parliament, overlooking the Danube River in Budapest. He has acknowledged the visit’s content will be affected by current events, even if the main purpose is meeting Hungarian Catholics.“Looking forward to the visit of @pontifex,” Orban said on Twitter on Thursday evening. “In troubled times like ours, it is essential to remember what keeps us together, and faith is the foundation upon which we can build a stable future.”
Both Orban 59, and the pope, 86, have called for a ceasefire and negotiations to end the war and Francis has urged Ukraine to be open to dialogue with “aggressor” Russia, something Ukraine has so far ruled out.
