ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE, Undefined - Pope Francis on Sunday called on Hungarians to "open doors" to migrants, as he wrapped up a three-day visit to the central European country led by a prime minister who is staunchly anti-immigration.
Some 50,000 people, including Orban, listened to the pope lead an open-air mass at a central Budapest square under tight security, during which the Argentine pontiff urged all, including "those with political and social responsibilities", to be more open. University student Levente Kiss, 21, who was among those thronging the mass, welcomed the pope's stance "that really calls us to our Christian mission to support the people in migration crises, especially the war in Ukraine".
Noting that the Holy See had successfully acted as an intermediary in past prisoner exchanges, Francis said that in this case an attempt "could also go well. On Saturday, Francis met refugees -- including many from Ukraine -- at a Budapest church, where he spoke of the "evils of indifference" to those in need.
