news Christians in Gaza speak with Pope Francis every night

[Chemist]

Quote

Every night without fail, a mobile phone rings in the Holy Family church in Gaza, and a parish priest answers. The voice at the end of the line is that of Pope Francis, head of the Catholic Church and spiritual leader to a global flock of 1.4bn people. For more than a year, the pontiff has made nightly calls to the church to comfort the hundreds of Palestinian Christians sheltering there as fighting rages on the streets outside and Israeli warplanes pound much of the city around them to rubble. For those living in harsh conditions in the church complex and now preparing for their second Christmas surrounded by war, the regular contact with the pontiff reassures them that they have not been forgotten.

Have a lot of things against him but this is very honorable
