Retired KL prelate calls for prayer for Pope Francis as he is under pressure

In just a few words, Archbishop Emeritus Murphy Pakiam said Pope is under pressure and so needs prayers from the faithful. He, together with Cardinal Soter Fernandez, was in the delegation for the ad limina visit by the Bishops Conference of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei on 4-9 Feb 2018.

When we met Pope Francis, he immediately said, ‘I am not going to give a long speech, neither are you going to give long speeches.’ Instead, he invited us to sit and talk freely… of our concerns, issues etc.

Our Pope is under tremendous pressure and we must continue to keep him in prayers and show our support to him. – Herald Malaysia, 28 Feb 2018
