Vatican City, 29 October 2014 (VIS) –
The director of the Holy See Press Office, Fr. Federico Lombardi,
S.J., explained yesterday afternoon that President Evo Morales’
visit to the Vatican was due to his attendance at the International
Meeting of Popular Movements, organised by the Pontifical Council
“Justice and Peace”. Participants in the event received in
audience by the Pope on the morning of 28 October.
The visit was not, therefore, organised
through the usual diplomatic channels. The private and informal
meeting between the Holy Father and the President which took place
yesterday evening was an expression of affection and closeness to the
Bolivian people and Church, and of support for the improvement of
relations between the authorities and the Church within the country.
