Pope Francis has achieved a years-long mission on Friday, when he arrived in the war-torn country of South Sudan. Before departing for South Sudan's capital city, the Holy Father met Church leaders from the Democratic Republic of Congo. This morning there was troubling news in South Sudan as 27 people were killed in a terrorist attack. The Pope will spend 3 days in the war-torn country. He is calling it "a pilgrimage for peace." He will be joined by leaders from the Anglican Church and the Church of Scotland. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to tell us more about the meaning of this apostolic trip. Thonhauser explains how Pope Francis approached this topic and what his message was to the millions of faithful who welcomed him in their country. He discusses what else is on the schedule for Pope Francis this weekend.
