Papal Notes - Francis "Dove of Peace"?

"After welcoming Pope Francis to Colombia, President Juan Manuel Santos took the unexpected step of coming with his wife to greet the international media traveling with the pope and greeting each of them before giving a brief address of welcome.
He praised the pope for coming to this country at “this moment of utmost importance for the peace process.” He recalled that Francis, who he had met four times before this visit, has supported and encouraged the peace process from the beginning and “in the moments of greatest difficulty he encouraged us to persevere.” And now, “at this opportune moment,” he has come “to help us to take the first step to peace, reconciliation and to build a new Colombia for all its people.”
President Santos said the peace accords signed with FARC also include an “agreement regarding the victims of the conflict,” which he underlined was very important. He said that during his visit, Pope Francis will meet with some of the victims, and already tonight a child who was born during
the conflict but can now look to a future of peace, gave the pope a dove of peace." EWTN
