The Pope called for heartfelt prayers for peace in the Holy Land at yesterday's Angelus (full video). Francis has discussed clerical abuse, the mafia and parental responsibility in a new conversation with La Repubblica co-founder Eugenio Scalfari (Fr Lombardi statement, original text). A Pakistani court has granted bail to the man suspected of assassinating Catholic government minister Shahbaz Bhatti. Cardinal George Pell says he isn't seeking to impose "Anglo-Saxon standards" on the Vatican's finances. Isabella Burton hails Pope Francis's "radical environmentalism". Brian Stiller of the World Evangelical Alliance describes his three-hour conversation with the "vibrant" Francis. And a tiny Catholic museum containing a papal snuff box has been named an American city's best tourist attraction by TripAdvisor (museum website).
