In their first issues after the Mayday holiday, commentators offer diverging evaluations of the message of the three-day visit by the head of the Catholic Church to Budapest.
Pope Francis, speaking at his General Audience in Saint Peter’s Square on Wednesday, thanked Hungary’s authorities, the Hungarian Catholic Church, and the country’s people for “the loving hospitality” during his recent visit to Budapest.
Celebrating mass on Sunday morning in Budapest, Pope Francis asked participants to "be open doors" and appealed to world leaders asking them "to build peace and to give the younger generations a future of hope, not war, a future full of cradles not tombs".
President Katalin Novák received Pope Francis with military honours in front of the presidential office, Sándor Palace, in the Castle District on Friday.
