Pope Francis led a jubilant mass for thousands of Egyptian Catholics today (April 29, 2017) during a visit to support Egypt's Christian minority and promote dialogue with Muslims, according to the Times of Israel website.
Francis circled the Cairo stadium on a golf cart waving to the crowds as a chorus sang a joyous hymn.
Yesterday, Francis pleaded for tolerance and peace as he visited a Coptic Orthodox Church bombed by the Islamic State (IS) group in December.
The 80-year-old pontiff denounced violence and "demagogic" populism in an address yesterday to a Muslim-Christian conference.
