Gallup, N.M., Feb 20, 2020 / 03:01 am (CNA).- After visiting with Pope Francis for two and a half hours during his region’s ad limina visit, Bishop James Wall of Gallup told CNA that he was encouraged by the Holy Father’s passion for the pro-life movement, his love for the vulnerable in society, and his willingness to discuss anything.
“The Holy Father just (said), ‘What would you want to talk about?’” Wall told CNA.
“So I saw an opportunity, and it was kind of funny. I said, ‘Holy Father, we’re pro-life.’ And he joked and he goes, ‘Well, so is the Holy Father.’”
