VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis asked institutions and authorities to do "everything possible" so that "every family has a place to live" in a message delivered after praying the Angelus in St. Peter's Square on Sunday.

"Family and home go together," said the pontiff, adding, "I call on everyone - individuals, organs of society, authorities - to do everything possible to assure that every family has a place to live."

After his homily, the pope made reference to a sign reading "The poor cannot wait" carried by several people who had come to the huge square.

... The pope closed the Sunday Angelus celebration by wishing all a "Christmas of hope and brotherhood."
