    Francis in Bolivia greeted as a 'brother' with 'a message of hope and liberation'

    Francis welcomed the “important steps” Morales' government had made “to include wide sectors in the country's economic, social and political life.”

    Pope Francis greeted Bolivia with a message of inclusion, a central theme of his three-nation tour to his home continent, as he arrived in South America's poorest nation. Landing in La Paz early in the evening, thousands of faithful -- many of whom had spent a chilly night outdoors waiting for him -- welcomed the pope as choirs sang in the indigenous Aymara language.
