Pope Ends Asian Tour

Pope Francis is due to finish his second trip to Asia in five months on Monday. This trip had a record breaking turn out in Manila, the capitol of the Philippines with over 6 million people joining Pope Francis for a mass. Francis was making his trips to Sri Lanka and the Philippines to promote the Catholic Church, raise awareness on poverty, and meet survivors of Super Typhoon Haiyan which struck Leyte Island in November 2013. The Pope said he was deeply moved by these visits and masses.
