ABOARD THE PAPAL FLIGHT, April 15 (Reuters) - Pope Leo said on Wednesday that the world needs to hear a message of peace and coexistence, in remarks hours after U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest social media attack against the pontiff.

Speaking on his flight from Cameroon to Algeria for the second leg of the tour, the first U.S. pontiff urged respect for all the peoples of the world and said his tour has shown the importance of pursuing dialogue between different communities.
