1000 kalinių Vatikane

November 7, 2016
VATICAN CITY, Holy See - Pope Francis on Sunday celebrated Mass

before a thousand prisoners specially invited to the Vatican, giving them a message of hope while denouncing the "hypocrisy" of society.

The event was also attended by 3,000 others including prison staff and volunteers and without any visible police presence.

The Argentine pontiff regularly meets prisoners -- both in Italy and on his trips abroad -- but this is the first time so many inmates have been received at the Vatican.

The pontiff, recalling his visits to jail, said: "Every time I enter a prison, I ask the question 'why them and not me?', we all can make mistakes."

The prisoners came from jails in Italy and Spain but 12 countries were represented including Britain, Mexico, South Africa.
