Emotional Papal visit to Rio hospital fpr recovering addicts

"Francis, You Are Peter" – At Rio Hospital, The Pope Embraces the Lepers
As noted in the moment, many centuries ago, Francis of Assisi was celebrated for embracing a leper... and tonight, the first Bishop of Rome ever to have the audacity to take the Poverello's name as his own embraced a recovering addict.

Lo and behold, the historic instance was the first thing the Pope referred to on his visit to a Rio hospital named for the original Francis, whose patients made the pontiff's wooden chair, adorned with a Tau on its back bearing the words "Francis, you are Peter."
