Pope Francis urged Catholics to remain hopeful in his Easter Sunday address, calling vaccines an essential tool in ending the pandemic and urging their swift rollout to the world s poorest countries.
On the holiest holiday for the world s 1.3 billion Catholics and the second under the shadow of the coronavirus crisis, the pope focused his message on the world s most vulnerable - the sick, migrants, people facing economic hardship, and those living in war zones like Syria, Yemen and Libya. The pandemic is still spreading, while the social and economic crisis remains severe, especially for the poor, the 84-year-old Argentine said, speaking to a congregation of only around 100 people inside the vast St Peter s Basilica.
