Pope Francis yesterday wrapped up his Polish visit with a huge outdoor Mass where he told young people to look beyond the instant gratification afforded by technology, and instead to try to change the world. Francis, 79, who has said he is a "disaster" with technology, sprinkled his sermon at the last major event of the trip with social media and technology terms. He urged the young people to "'download' the best 'link' of all, that of a heart which sees and transmits goodness without growing weary." Francis encouraged them to continue "to be dreamers (who) believe in a new humanity, one that rejects hatred between peoples, one that refuses to see borders as barriers".
