Front row seats-usually reserved for presidents, royalty and the Church hierarchy were taken up by the poor and marginalized.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was an event organized by the Pope's Almoner's office, where the homeless, poor, refugees and immigrants walked into the Vatican. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>'It's one of the most beautiful things Pope Francis can carry out. It shows that we are all the same.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>'It's beautiful and inside people are happy and ready to listen to the music.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Benefactors were also invited, but time around, those who are somewhat used to walking into the Vatican, took the back seats.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>'From the poor to the well off. We're all here. It's a great example for everyone and besides I really like this type of music.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>About 3,000 people attended the concert with music based on Dante Alighieri's 'The Divine Comedy.\u00e2?\u009d Israeli Director Daniel Oren led the concert with the Chorus of Rome's Diocese.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>'The Church is made up of all social classes. From the poorest of the poor to the rich. We are all part of the Church.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is one of many concrete initiatives the Pope has launched recently to reach out to the marginalized. From giving a tour of the Sistine Chapel to the needy to building shower stalls for the homeless.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even though the Pope didn't attend the concert, he did meet with organizers a few days ahead to thank them for their efforts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>KLH\u00a0<br \/>\nMG<br \/>\nSV<br \/>\n-BN<br \/>\nUp:GRT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 15, 2015. ;Roughly 3,000 people attended the concert in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall. ;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":53580,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"http:\/\/youtu.be\/hb9ZGoFStzI","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/","international_url":"http:\/\/romereports.com.edgesuite.net\/news\/bconcertopoveriint.mov","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53579"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53579"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53579\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
