Pope Francis, who is on a trip to Cuba and the US, has been credited with helping with the recent renewal of diplomatic ties between the two countries.

The Pope said that he was in Cuba to further strengthen those ties.

During his homily, he said that “Christians are constantly called to set aside their own wishes and desires, their pursuit of power, and to look instead to those who are most vulnerable”.
