Pope FRANCIS has said “Everything will be different” after the corona virus pandemic, calling for a fairer society and action to “end the pandemic of poverty in the world”.

Speaking in Spanish in a video message to mark the feast of Pentecost, the pontiff said there was a duty to build a new reality, particularly for the poorest.

The pope led a prayer in the Vatican gardens for all those affected by the pandemic, which has killed nearly 370,000 people worldwide and devastated the global economy.
