PARAGUAY-POPE-MASS

Pope Francis prays in front of a statue of the Virgin Mary at the Marian Shrine of Caacupe, 50 km from Asuncion, before delivering mass before hundreds of thousands of pilgrims, on July 11, 2015. Pope Francis brought his message of equality to Paraguay Friday, on the third and final stop of a South America tour that has burnished his reputation as a powerful voice for the downtrodden.
