Pope urges peace as Koreas seek unity during papal visit
Pope Francis called for reconciliation on the war divided Korean Peninsula asking both sides to avoid fruitless criticisms and displays of force. North Korea fired multiple short range projectiles around his Seoul arrival as the South Korean government awaited his first Asia trip. The pope met ferry victims’ relatives and martyrs' descendants and will beatify 124 Korean martyrs in Daejeon while urging dialogue and justice for regional peace.
