CNA Staff, Jun 4, 2020 / 03:40 am (CNA).- Pope Francis on Wednesday called Bishop Mark Seitz of the Diocese of El Paso, Texas, after the bishop joined a demonstration against racial discrimination to pray for George Floyd.

They spoke in Spanish, Seitz said, noting that Francis “said he wanted to congratulate me.”
