CWN Editor's Note: Scholas Occurrentes, the educational foundation founded in Buenos Aires by the future Pope Francis, organized a three-day interreligious gathering at the Vatican for Israeli, Palestinian, and American youth.
On February 5, at the gathering’s conclusion, they met with Pope Francis.
“I am not a Christian, yet I still felt the holiness and greatness of the place,” said Maysan Madi, a Palestinian Arab. “Pope Francis’s words were incredibly powerful. I think everyone present, regardless of their background or beliefs, felt the same way.”
