Pope Francis on Monday
called for the promotion of a culture of greater welcome for
migrants. In a message to a southern Italian meeting on
Mediterranean rescues involving 250 young people from 31
countries, he said "an ever more generous commitment is needed
to favour the culture of welcome and solidarity, thus promoting
peace and fraternity among peoples". The meeting, titled
Mediterranean, A Port of Fraternity, was sponsored by the
diocese of Ugento-Santa Maria di Leuca, with the backing of
numerous institutions and associations. It ends today.
