“On Thursday, the pontiff unleashed the most powerful and politically loaded rhetoric of his trip, attacking the ‘culture of selfishness and individualism’ and urging more efforts to fight hunger and poverty. The throngs were largely kept at bay by security barriers, but the pope kissed babies and shook hands with well-wishers. Police helicopters buzzed overheads, and police snipers watched the crowd from rooftops. He also gave a sharply worded condemnation of moves to legalise drug use during a visit on Wednesday to a rehabilitation centre in Brazil.”
