Free yourselves from mafia, pope says in crime-infested suburb
Pope Francis on Sunday visited a once-tranquil seaside community outside Rome that has become a power center of mafia violence and political corruption and urged residents to break away from "moorings of fear".
For decades popes have held the traditional Corpus Christi feast Mass and subsequent procession in the center of Rome, walking between two magnificent basilicas.
This year Francis chose to move the event to a working-class parish in Ostia, a district about 30 kilometers from the center with a population of about 230,000 people, to show solidarity with anguished and frightened residents.
