Pope Francis met Friday
with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and former president
Alvaro Uribe for about 25 minutes, the Vatican press office
said.
Santos gave the pope a pen made from a shell casing, which
was used to sign a November, 2016 peace agreement with the
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrilla
movement, putting an end to decades of violence.
"The bullet is inscribed with the words 'bullets have been
our past, peace is our future'," the Colombian leader told
Francis.
