Pope Francis urged the Lebanese people to work together after the devastating explosion in the port of Beirut, in order to promote a “free and strong” coexistence.
The pope made an address in St. Peter’s Square, while the Lebanese people called on people to carry on with the social reactions in order to overthrow the government. They were also asking for the resignation of the Maronite Catholic Patriarch of Antioch, Bechara Boutros al-Rahi.
“Last Tuesday’s catastrophe calls everyone, beginning with the Lebanese people, to work together for the common good of this beloved country,” Pope Francis said.
