CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis received former Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff, who was impeached and removed from office in 2016, in an April 27 audience.

Rousseff tweeted that she and the Pontiff discussed “humanity’s greatest challenges: the fight against inequality and hunger, the energy transition and the actions needed to tackle climate change.”

“It is always a joy to be with Pope Francis, a friend of Brazil and a man profoundly committed to the destinies of humanity,” she added.
