The Pope answers some of these questions in the new book “Dear Pope Francis,” out today. A 9-year-old living in Nigeria asks Pope Francis how to settle conflicts in the world. A 9-year-old in India asks how to find God. A 7-year-old in Australia writes saying his mother is in heaven and asks if she will grow angel wings. Here, we share three letters from the book.
