During his return flight to return to the Vatican, Pope Francis held a press conference in the presence of several journalists on Saturday September 23.
After a two-day visit to Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), Pope Francis held a press conference on the plane taking him back to the Vatican on Saturday September 23. His speech mainly focused on the fate of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea. Asked about the message that he keeps repeating, the pope believes “that there is better awareness of the migration issue”.
The Vatican and France at odds over end of life
While the end of life is discussed in France, Pope Francis admitted to having spoken with Emmanuel Macron on this subject. “We don’t play with life, neither at the beginning nor at the end”, he replied. The man of the church seemed satisfied with his trip to the Marseille city. No other trips are planned at this time.
