Pope Francis celebrates his 80th birthday with the homeless and reflects on the wisdom of getting older.

This was only the second time in six years that President Santos and ex-President Uribe have met.

Francis has opted for men with broad experience and deep commitment in the social-justice field.

In his homily for the feast, Pope Francis denounced the exclusion of so many people “from the train of life.”

“Violence is not the cure for our broken world,” the pope writes.

Those who survive flight during crisis often become victims of trafficking—"their attempt to improve their lives turns out to be dehumanizing and can lead to their deaths.”
