Pope Francis has urged Hungarians to "open doors" to migrants, ending his visit to the country led by a nationalist anti-immigration cabinet.
Ednews informs via BBC that speaking at an open-air mass in the capital Budapest, the pontiff said it was "sad and painful" to see doors closed to people who were "unlike us".
Up to 100,000 people attended the mass, including Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Mr Orban has criticised migration, building a barbed-wire border fence to stop migrants crossing into Hungary.
Addressing the crowd near the Hungarian parliament building on Sunday, Pope Francis pleaded to everyone - including "those with political and social responsibilities" - to be more open.
He was speaking about "the closed doors of our selfishness with regard to others... the doors we close towards those who are foreign or unlike us, towards migrants or the poor".
During the mass, the Argentinian pontiff, 86, also referred to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine launched in February 2022.
He prayed for the "beleaguered Ukrainian people and the Russian people" and for "a future of hope, not war".
