People lined the streets of Quito to welcome Pope Francis on Tuesday, and one million people reportedly attended the open-air mass he held in the Bicentennial Park. The pontiff spoke of the need to actively share the message of Jesus Christ and to include marginalized people in political and social affairs. The visit comes in the midst of tensions over wealth redistribution proposed by President Rafael Correa, which have sparked sometimes violent protests by the right-wing opposition led by the country’s oligarchy. teleSUR
