In a meeting over the weekend at the Vatican, the Holy Father said a lot is being done by the Humanitarian Corridors project. He says it is protecting the vulnerable and breaking down the walls of indifference. The initiative is organized by Catholic and Evangelical groups, the Church in Italy and various governments in Europe.
