Pope, on Palm Sunday, pays tribute to "today's martyrs"
• Yahoo NewsFrancis, who earlier this month began the third year of his papacy, presided at a colourful procession in St. Peter's Square commemorating the day the Bible says people of Jerusalem welcomed Jesus days before he was crucified.
Thousands of people, including the 78-year-old Argentine pope and prelates dressed in red vestments, carried palm fronds and branches in St. Peter's Square on the day that marks the start of Holy Week, which ends on Easter Sunday.
In his homily during the Mass that followed, Francis, who last month denounced the killing of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians by Islamic State militants in Libya, paid tribute to those he said were being killed for their faith today.

I'm sure glad Pope Frankie's a total faddist like most public figures today. Maybe he's even a Jew, since he's a major cleric for whom Palestinian Christians don't exist. I understand the Holodomor doesn't exist for him either but "the Holocaust" (TM) is a major fetish. Trendy, stylish!
