Pope Francis Tells Young People of Congo to Resist Evil & Work Towards Peace

Pope Francis is spending his final full day in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It included an address before around 70,000 people, and the Holy Father delivered a message about the country’s future. 

Pope Francis drew loud cheers when he denounced the central African country’s government corruption. The Holy Father also urged young people to resist evil and instead work towards a better and peaceful future. 

More than two-thirds of the Congo’s population is under the ager of 25. Elias Turk, ACI Mena Vatican Editor, is traveling with the Holy Father and he joins to fill us in on another busy day for the Pope in Congo.
