Pope Francis visited to KOSICE, Slovakia on Tuesday, to meet with the country’s most socially excluded minority group, who have long suffered discrimination, marginalization and poverty.
” Francis acknowledged Slovakia’s Roma had long been subject to “prejudice and harsh judgments, discriminatory stereotypes, defamatory words and gestures,” and even misunderstandings on the part of the Catholic Church. His visit alone could help change attitudes among Slovakia’s majority, many of whom would never visit a neighborhood that until recently police refused to enter at night.”
