Description
Migrants at a shelter in northern Peru near Chiclayo, which Pope XIV helped establish when he was bishop, remember meeting him and express hope that his leadership will bring greater compassion toward migrants. "He is well known in the migrant community because he has really helped and collaborated a lot with migrants," says Venezuelan migrant Janniorg Gutierrez. Gabriela Morillo adds that when she met him, he struck her as "humanitarian." "Even though he was a bishop, he didn't keep his distance — he hugged us, shook our hands, and interacted with us face to face," she says. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
