Pope Francis described solidarity as the way out of the coronavirus pandemic crisis as he held his first public audience in nearly six months Wednesday after a pause brought on by Italy’s outbreak. The Pope didn’t wear one as he met the crowd, but kept a safety distance from the faithful, who were cheering and waving at him. “If the pope were a thaumaturge, I would ask him to end the pandemic, but unfortunately he doesn’t have this power,” Inigo Sanchez, one of the attendees, said.
