Jesus is Lord and "has power over evil and death", Francis said in his Angelus address on Sunday (full text, full video). The Pope also greeted an interfaith group of environmentalists gathered for the Angelus. A historic meeting between the Pontiff and the Russian Orthodox Patriarch is "getting closer every day", according to Metropolitan Hilarion. The Pope has created a new Secretariat for Communications, naming Mgr Dario Edoardo Viganò as its prefect. A German bishop has called for the revised Good Friday petition for the Jews, written by Benedict XVI in 2008, to be removed from the Extraordinary Form liturgy. Peter Prengaman investigates why Francis deposed a Paraguayan bishop ahead of his visit to the country next month. And Rome Reports profiles the Catholic woman who became the first armless person to fly an aeroplane (video). Follow me on Twitter @lukecoppen for updates throughout the day.
