Pope Francis (L) is greeted by Martin Schulz, president of the European Parliament before delivering a speech at the European Parliament, on November 25, 2014, during a short visit at the European Parliament and the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, eastern France. Pope Francis began a lightning visit to European institutions in Strasbourg where he was expected to call for a "tired" Europe hit by economic crises and surging nationalism to reclaim a leadership role.
