Freedom is "the gift of being able to choose the right way", Pope Francis said at a Mass for young people yesterday (full text, full video). The Pontiff heard youngsters' confessions in St Peter's Square on Saturday. The Pope made a surprise appearance at an Earth Day event in a Rome park yesterday. Cardinal Seán O’Malley of Boston has led an ecumenical service marking the Armenian Genocide anniversary. An Indian archbishop has created a team to promote the Cause of the "Odisha martyrs". John Allen asks if Francis is failing to close the Vatican's "governance gap". And a new website lets visitors explore the mysteries of Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights.
