This week on “Inside the Vatican,” Gerard O'Connell speaks with Colleen Dulle about traveling with Pope Francis to Cyprus and Greece to “touch the wounds of humanity.”

From a vaccination clinic in the atrium of the Vatican audience hall to a visit to the ancient Iraqi city of Ur, Pope Francis demonstrated throughout 2021 what he means by seeing all people as brothers or sisters.

Pope Francis arrived at the foot of the statue of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception at 6:15 a.m. and prayed for “the miracle of cure for the many sick people” in today’s world.

Pope Francis revealed that a second meeting between him and the Russian Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow is under consideration. “It’s on the not-distant horizon,” he said.

Pope Francis revealed for the first time that the archbishop had given “small caresses and massages” to his secretary, which “was a sin” but “not the gravest of sins.”

"Five years have passed since I visited this place with my dear brothers Bartholomew and Ieronymos. After all this time, we see that little has changed with regard to the issue of migration."
