Pope to journalists: Albania good signal for the world

(Vatican Radio) The peaceful coexistence between religions in Albania is a “good signal for the world”. This is what Pope Francis said to the over 50 journalists from 10 different nations traveling with him on the Papal plane en route to Tirana for the Pope’s one-day visit to the Albanian nation.

The Pope said that Albania is a country that has much suffered, but that has managed to establish a situation of peaceful coexistence and collaboration between its diverse religious denominations.

This – he said – “is a good sign for the world”: dialogue, peace and equilibrium in favour of good governance.

And asking for prayers, the Pope wished the journalists “a good day of hard work”, and  said it is good “that the public knows what the Church and the Pope does”.
