I didn't know that. Did Fr Jonathan say why Francis returned to his chair? I only caught part of the discussion before Mass and if I understood correctly, it was precisely because he knew proabortion and antiCatholic delegates would be present. But again, I missed part of that discussion.
Did you see anything scandalous from the US delegates in the coverage you watched?
I did not hear any explaination just that Francis would only present the Euchrist to deacons. We got a very wise man on the throne of Peter.
