STORYLINE:
Priests, nuns and Hungary’s religious leaders gathered in Budapest’s St. Stephan Basilica to meet Pope Francis at the start of his three-day trip on Friday.
The Roman Catholic basilica, Hungary’s third largest church, is named in honour of Stephen, the first King of Hungary who have encouraged the spread of Christianity in the 10th century.
The pontiff will meet with children with disabilities, refugees, and members of Hungary's scientific and cultural sectors during his visit to Hungary and also he will preside over a Sunday mass in central Budapest.
Pope Francis plans to outline his vision for the future of Europe during a three-day visit to Hungary starting Friday, with Russia’s war in Ukraine, migration flows and Hungary’s tense relations with Brussels looming large over the pontiff’s weekend journey.
Hungarian officials say Francis’ pilgrimage was designed primarily to let the pope minister to the country’s Catholic community and to encourage its members in their faith.
But with the war unfolding next door and Hungary butting heads with other European Union nations over rule of law issues and LGBTQ+ rights, Francis’ words and deeds in the heart of Europe will carry strong political undertones.
