The new ambassdor of Peru to the Holy See presented his credentials to Pope Francis in the Apostolic Palace.
As a present, the Ambassador and his family gifted the Pope a box of chocolates from Peru.
-We just moved yesterday. We are, but…
These do not make you fat, right?
-Just the person who eats them.
During the meeting, Pope Francis took a moment to express the importance of family life.
When the family is with the ambassador, it is a great support.
In 2018, Francis was the second pope to visit the country after John Paul II. He spent three days meeting with indigenous peoples and the local Christian community.
Diplomatic ties between the Vatican and Peru were established in 1877 under Pope Pius IX.
