Pope Francis waves as he leaves the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, eastern France, on November 25, 2014. Pope Francis launched a blistering attack Tuesday on a "haggard" Europe, urging it to reclaim global leadership after years of crisis and to take in migrants before the Mediterranean becomes a "vast cemetery". During a lightning visit to Strasbourg, the Argentine pontiff used speeches to the European Parliament and Council of Europe to press home the need for urgent economic and social change.
