Pope Francis urged Hungarians to be more “open” and “considered” during an open-air mass in Budapest after meeting the country’s hardline Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Sunday.

Orban’s personal gift to the Pope, however, appeared to underline his nationalist and anti-immigrant stance: a copy of a 13th century letter from Hungarian King Bela IV to Pope Innocent IV. The letter asked the then-Pope for help in resisting the Mongol invasion of Hungary and Europe.

That was some International Eucharistic Congress today!

Saw it and looks like a very large area was blocked off for the huge attendance.

Also saw the Pope pop in.

Not too surprised to hear him chastise the locals.

And yet, I’m surprised the ancient letter wasn’t regarding Moslems at the gate. That would’ve been MORE pointed.
