In a meeting with children who face poverty and disabilities, the Pope had an important reminder, for them and for everyone, including for himself.

One of you asked me: “Why am I not like other people?” Pope Francis repeated this question, which had been asked in sign language, as he met with kids at the Caritas Technical Secondary School in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, this September 7, 2024.
