During this last week, at his general audience, Pope Francis met with his fourth group of ‘Trans guests’. These were offered refuge by the Catholic Church in Rome. L’Osservatore Romano reported how this had given the guests hope.
Father Conocchia, who had organised this meeting, spoke about the Church’s interaction with his guests in a later interview.
“I would say that we treat these people as if they were invisible…If the coronavirus had never happened, I might have never met them in person, they might have never asked for help in a church and maybe we wouldn’t have had the chance to dialogue, know each other and share.”
