VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has met with an Afghan family he met during a visit this month to a refugee camp in Greece and helped resettle to Italy because the youngest child needs medical care.

He said: “All you need to do is open a door. The door of the heart. Let’s not miss doing it this Christmas.”
