00:00Well, the autumn sun shining down at the King Boudouin Stadium here in Belgium for the final
00:12day of the visit of Pope Francis, there's a crowd here of around 39,000 people, as he
00:17says mass. In his homily, Pope Francis talked about the importance for mercy, for those
00:22who have made mistakes, for compassion for those suffering, including asylum seekers
00:26and refugees. And once again, he referred to the marketplace in relation to the impact
00:31it has on social injustice and social inequality. But for all this adoring crowd here today,
00:38it's undoubted that the visit of Pope Francis to Belgium has been dominated by the legacy
00:42of child sexual abuse, both here and across the world. He was called upon by Prime Minister
00:48de Croix, by the King of Belgium and by survivors themselves to compensate those who have suffered
00:53and to do more. Shona Murray, Euronews, King Boudouin Stadium.
