Pope Francis has called for a softening of stony and self-centered
hearts to help end injustice in the world.
In his Christmas message from the Vatican balcony, Pope Francis spoke
of walls of indifference being put up to people fleeing hardship in
the hope of finding a better life.
The Pope prayed for those hit by conflict, natural disasters and
disease, listing several countries.
He singled out parts of Africa where Christians have been killed.
