Fátima (Portugal) (AFP) – Around 200,000 pilgrims flood the shrine of Fatima in Portugal to attend a service held by Pope Francis at one of Catholicism’s most revered sites devoted to the Virgin Mary. Worshippers waved and called out “Viva!” as the 86-year-old pontiff slowly drove past on his popemobile.
