Pope Francis leaves at the end of a press conference on his flight back from Marseille to Rome, Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023. Francis just ended a two-day visit to Marseille where he joined Catholic bishops from the Mediterranean region on discussions largely focused on migration.
Francis acknowledged he was frustrated that the Vatican's diplomatic initiatives hadn't borne much fruit. But he said behind the Russia-Ukraine conflict was also the weapons industry. “Not to make illusions that tomorrow the two leaders will go out together to eat, but to do whatever is possible,” he said.
Francis recalled that when he became pope, “I didn’t even know where Lampedusa was.” The Sicilian island, which is closer to Africa than the Italian mainland, is the destination of choice for migrant smugglers and has seen frequent shipwrecks off its shores. Last week, the island was overwhelmed when nearly 7,000 migrants arrived in one day, more than the resident population.
