Pope Francis Holds His Weekly Audience

VATICAN CITY, VATICAN - AUGUST 05: Pope Francis greets married couples during his weekly audience at the Paul VI Hall on August 5, 2015 in Vatican City, Vatican. In his catechesis, Pope Francis noted that the Church in recent decades has developed a greater awareness of the need to be welcoming the divorced and re-married. He emphasized that they are still part of the Church, they are not excommunicated, and should not be treated as such, but rather must be encouraged, with their families to participate in the Church's life.
