教宗對巴西展開爲期一週的訪問
Pope Francis on Monday opens a weeklong visit to Brazil -- the world's largest Roman Catholic country that has in recent weeks been swept up in waves of anti-government protests.
More than 1 million young Catholics are expected to flock to Rio de Janeiro to celebrate the new pope. His itinerary includes meetings with local and national leaders and events connected to Thursday's celebration of World Youth Day.
The pontiff's schedule also includes a meeting with young inmates at a Rio prison, and a visit to shantytowns largely cleared of drug traffickers earlier this year by police and the Brazilian army. He also will inaugurate a Rio hospital wing for the treatment of drug addicts, and will pray at a shrine to Our Lady of Aparecida -- the patron saint of Brazil.
The former Argentine Cardinal will be welcomed to the country by Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.教宗方濟星期一將開始對巴西進行爲期一週的訪問。巴西是世界上天主教徒最多的國家，近幾個星期來，巴西各地爆發了反政府抗議活動。
預計將有1百多萬年輕天主教徒前往裏約熱內盧歡迎這位新教宗。教宗的日程包括會晤巴西政府和地方官員，並參加星期四與世界青年日有關的慶祝活動。
此外，教宗還將在里約熱內盧的一座監獄與年輕囚犯們見面，並參觀今年早些時候巴西警方和軍隊基本將販毒者清除的貧民區。教宗還將爲里約熱內盧一家醫院的戒毒中心主持開張儀式，並前往阿帕雷西達聖母教堂做祈禱。
曾經擔任阿根廷天主教主教的教宗方濟將受到巴西總統羅塞夫的迎接。
