Pope Francis hugs a child as East Timor President Jose Ramos-Horta sits with him during a welcoming ceremony upon meeting at the Presidential Palace in Dili, East Timor, Sept.9, 2024. In East Timor Francis had to negotiate perhaps the most sensitive issue clouding the visit to Asia and Oceania : the case of Bishop Carlos Ximenes Belo, the revered national hero who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his nonviolent independence campaign.
