Politicians and Papacy

In the rest of the world politicians and papal leaders of the Catholic church have to be careful about what they say about the Islam. But here in Slovakia other things matter. The new nationalistic governement cries out that they want to send tanks to Hungary and chase all of the Hungarian minority out of the country. And here, in Marianka, a place where pilgrims from over the world come to be healed by the holy water, thousands of people are gathered together in what feels like a mysterious open-air church. When the mass is over, the speach is said, the holy father walks through the crowd to bless the people. He shakes hands and smiles, and blesses the children. No security guard necessary.
