Francis tossed a wreath of white and yellow flowers into the Mediterranean Sea in memory of the estimated 20,000 African immigrants who have died in the past 25 years trying to reach a new life in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> an astute reader points out that in the first photo above, Francis is wearing his plain ring from Buenos Aires, rather than the &#8220;Fisherman&#8217;s Ring&#8221; popes wear in public liturgies. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.news.va\/en\/news\/pope-francis-fishermans-ring\" target=\"_blank\">Francis&#8217;s fisherman&#8217;s ring<\/a> was notable for being silver rather than gold &#8211; from a design done for Paul VI. Ordinarily he puts that on for liturgy &#8211; but not here.<\/p>\n<p>One has to wonder &#8211; whose creative idea was it to have liturgical vessels made of shipwreck wood? Who is making all these liturgical decisions?\u00a0Pope Francis seems to take a more active interest in the liturgy than his predecessor Benedict (the reader will catch the irony in that observation), in the sense that more has changed, more quickly, than we saw at the beginning of Benedict&#8217;s pontificate. Either Francis is a real take-charge guy, or he is remarkably able to get his team on board quickly with his vision of things.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the entire visit, Francis later said : &#8220;I hope people understand <a href=\"http:\/\/cnsblog.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/09\/pope-on-lampedusa-i-hope-people-understand\/\" target=\"_blank\">the meaning of this gesture<\/a>.&#8221; Indeed.<\/p>\n<p>awr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Referring to the visit, Pope Francis later said: &#8220;I hope people understand the meaning of this gesture.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2224,187],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pope-francis","category-social-justice"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
