ROME – During a trip seemingly to the ends of the world to visit one of the remotest flocks in the Catholic Church, Pope Francis found a small, but warm welcome, with many praising his visit as not only reaching out to the peripheries, but as expanding the Church’s own perspective.
Father Ambrose Mong, a priest accompanying a group of Catholics from Hong Kong for the papal trip, said he saw the pope’s visit to Mongolia as a “move to the peripheries, to the margins”. and as a step away from a “Eurocentric” view of the faith.
