‘Ashamed’ – Pope Francis Decries Global Unrest in Good Friday Prayer

During his annual Good Friday prayer address to the faithful, Catholic Pope Francis stated that he is ‘ashamed’ of our planet, as it is “fractured by divisions and wars.” Under tight security, the Pontiff presided over the ritual — attended by about 20,000 — at Rome’s ancient Colosseum that commemorates the death of Jesus of Nazareth, the religion’s most prominent avatar.
