Morning Star.png Pope Rallies Slumdwellers of Mexico City The Morning Star, London, 15 February 2016 Pope Francis visited Ecatepec yesterday to see for himself the violent crime-ridden "periphery" of Mexico City. He held an open-air mass for up to 400,000 people from the surrounding slums. On Friday, the pontiff met Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill in the Cuban capital Havana, greeting him with the words: "We are brothers, at last." Syria, Iraq, Ukraine The two religious leaders urged nations to end the scourge of Islamic State (Isis) and other terrorist groups trying to overthrow the secular republics of Syria and Iraq, where they said "whole families, villages and cities" of Christians were being exterminated. Turning to Ukraine, they condemned the violence that has "thrown society into a deep economic and humanitarian crisis" and urged all sides to end the bloddy civil war there.
