Pope Francis speaks to journalists on flight from Corsica, receives birthday cake
Pope Francis briefly spoke with journalists on his flight home to Rome on Sunday, December 15, after completing a visit to Corsica.
Addressing the group, Pope Francis noted how happy he was with the number of children he saw in Corsica and Timor-Este, noting that they were "the future."
In a departure from the usual protocol, the pope did not take questions from journalists on the return flight. The director of the Vatican press office, Matteo Bruni, said that was because of the short length of the trip from Ajaccio to Rome.
The Pope was also presented with a cake, an early birthday present for his upcoming 88th birthday.
