Rescue workers and emergency responders in Morocco were working on Monday to free survivors from the rubble left by the earthquake.
Pope Francis has offered the country his ‘prayerful communion in the face of this natural disaster.’
'This shows us that today, in the midst of so much bad news, there are good things, there are ‘saints next door,’' Pope Francis proclaimed.
Cardinal López Romero convened the synod on May 23, Pentecost Sunday, entrusting the process to “the holy martyrs of Marrakech and under the protection of Mary, Our Lady of Morocco.”
When read in context, Francis’ words were not as controversial as many media reports seemed to imply.
Returning to the Vatican from Morocco, the Holy Father said to defeat the spirit of evil requires fighting against it.
Francis said that Muslims are progressing in the freedom of conscience and freedom of worship, however some countries 'do not understand well or do not grow as well as others.'
Pope Francis will visit the cities of Rabat and Casablanca, a Nov. 13 message stated.
