SINGAPORE – Surrounded by a city-state whose urban core contains more than 100 high-rise structures straining towards the sky, Pope Francis on 12 September declared that while engineering and finance are critical parts of those symbols of development, at their core they also speak of a “love that builds up”.
Speaking during his Mass at Singapore’s Sports Hub National Stadium, the same venue that hosted six sold-out Taylor Swift concerts in March, the Pope paid homage to the beauty and ingenuity of Singapore’s infrastructure, saying it has made the city-state of roughly 6 million people “famous and fascinating”.
