"Pope Francis Draws Massive Crowds in Portugal, Addresses Controversial Topics"
Pope Francis visited the world-renowned Catholic Shrine of Fatima in Portugal, praying with a crowd of around 200,000 people and skipping a key speech. The shrine is believed to be the place where the Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children in 1917. The Pope called for peace in worldwide conflicts, particularly those affecting children, and later returned to the Portuguese capital for the final Mass of the World Youth Day celebrations.
