CWN Editor's Note: No groups from the United States were present at the Pope’s August 21 general audience, according to the Vatican newspaper.
L’Osservatore Romano reported that groups of the faithful from Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland, France, Côte d’Ivoire, England, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Brazil were present at the audience.
At the previous general audience, held on August 7, no American groups were present—a rare, if not unprecedented departure from the habitual American presence at audiences in recent decades.
