    Pope says he is not liberal

    Pope says he is not liberal
  • Known for his criticism on capitalism and emphasis on 'legitimate' redistribution of wealth, Pope Francis has often been labelled as leftist by many.

    On his flight to the US, he addressed these claims and said he's only teaching what the Church promoted throughout history.

    He said, "Some people might say some things sounded slightly more left-ish, but that would be a mistake of interpretation."

    First-ever US visit

  • The visit by Pope Francis will be the first time he sets foot on the US soil and a fourth time for a Pope. The first to visit the U.S. was Pope Paul VI in 1965.

    Pope in Cuba

    Pope in Cuba
  • During his 4-day visit to Cuba from 19-22 September, the Pope refrained from making overtly political statements. He only made veiled criticisms of the regime in Cuba.

    He called upon President Raul Castro and the US government to further the process of reconciliation between the two countries.

    Pope Francis concluded his visit by travelling to the shrine of the country's patron in El Cobre.

  • Controversies

    Controversies surrounding Pope's visit

    Controversies surrounding Pope's visit
    Credits:
  • While in Washington, Pope Francis will canonize Father Junípero Serra, an 18th century Spanish missionary.

    Critics have condemned the move, arguing that Serra was part of the Spanish colonization effort that decimated the native population.

    Apart from this, Pope's stand on various contentious issues like Cuban embargo, capitalism, immigration, death penalty, gay marriage, abortion, climate change, etc would likely draw both praise and criticism.
