"Pope's Airborne Briefing: Health, Peace Prayer in Fatima, and LGBTQ+ Catholics Discussed"

Pope Francis discussed his recovery from abdominal surgery, explaining that he deviated from his prepared speeches during his recent trip to Portugal in order to better communicate with young people. He ad-libbed his speech in Fatima and skipped a planned peace prayer, instead reciting a Hail Mary with young disabled people. The Vatican later posted part of the prayer on social media. Francis emphasized that he had prayed silently for peace but didn't want to give "publicity" to a public prayer. He also mentioned that he included LGBTQ+ Catholics in his vision of an inclusive church.
