Pope Francis appealed for the release of kidnapped priest Fr Tom Uzhunnalil in his Regina Caeli address yesterday (full text, full video). Francis will visit Armenia in June and Georgia and Azerbaijan in the autumn, the Vatican has announced. Almsgiving must be more than "simply hastily given change”, the Pope said at a Jubilee audience on Saturday (full video). Disagreements over Vatican II are "not an obstacle for the canonical and legal recognition of the SSPX", a Vatican official has said. The Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions has welcomed the release of a former missionary in the Philippines.
