MYANMAR – VATICAN Francis, alone in not forgetting Myanmar

MYANMAR – VATICAN Francis, alone in not forgetting Myanmar

The pontiff was among the few voices in the world to constantly remember this Southeast Asian country torn apart by a war that has now lasted for more than four years. In 2017, at a time of great political and economic openness, Francis visited Myanmar, bringing hope to believers of all religions. A memorial Mass was held for him in Yangon cathedral yesterday.
