Vatican City (AFP) - Pope Francis spoke out Friday over the increasingly aggressive nature of much political discourse and the use of social media as a forum for personal abuse.

The pope urged"to remain especially attentive to the way they speak of those who think or act differently or those who may have made mistakes."
