Washington, September 28 (RHC)-- Pope Francis has left the United States after a historic six-day visit. During his pastoral visit, Pope Francis addressed Congress and the United Nations General Assembly, fed homeless people in Washington, D.C., and met with immigrant families and people who survived child sex abuse by clergy.
Pope Francis also visited the Curran-Fromhold prison on the outskirts of Philadelphia, saying: "It is painful when we see prison systems which are not concerned to care for wounds, to soothe pain, to offer new possibilities."
