Pope's upcoming visit to Hungary raises questions and expectations.
TL;DR
Pope Francis visited the Basilica of St Mary Major ahead of his 41st Apostolic Journey outside of Italy, which will take him to Budapest, Hungary. During his visit, he prayed before the image of Mary, "Salus Populi Romani," and invoked her protection for the upcoming Journey. The Pope's visit to Hungary will take him to the heart of a Europe "upon which the icy winds of war continue to blow."
