Pope Francis says he is praying for those killed and wounded in the clashes in Egypt between police and supporters of that country’s ousted president. Francis said “painful news is coming from Egypt.” He said at the end of a Mass he celebrated Thursday in the main square in Castel Gandolfo, where the Vatican has a summer retreat villa, that he wanted to assure his prayers to the victims, their families, the wounded and all those suffering in Egypt. He urged prayers for “peace, dialogue and reconciliation for that dear land.”
