Pope Francis is a man committed to the migration issue. In 2013, he visited the island of Lampedusa (Italy), before traveling the world and the Mediterranean Sea for ten years to send multiple messages on this subject.

The island of Lampedusa (Italy) was Pope Francis’ first pontifical trip in July 2013. He wanted to be as close as possible to the migrants to denounce their fate. The man ofÉglise had also thrown a wreath of flowers into the sea. He was already calling for more solidarity regarding them.

Denounce injustices

Denouncing injustices is one of the missions of Pope Francis. He decides to break certain rituals for his first holy week. In addition, he has been traveling the planet for ten years, initially visiting poor countries.
