Indonesia's President at Stadium where Pope to hold Holy Mass

Indonesian President Joko Widodo arrived at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, packed with thousands of Catholic devotees attending a Holy Mass to be presided over by Pope Francis. Pope Francis appealed for religious unity Thursday as he addressed tens of thousands of people at a football stadium after meeting faith leaders at Southeast Asia's biggest mosque.

Pope Francis encouraged them to sow seeds of love, confidently tread the path of dialogue, continue to show their goodness and kindness and be builders of unity and peace". Francis's packed schedule on Thursday capped the first stop of Asia-Pacific tour, the longest of his papacy, that will take him to Papua New Guinea on Friday and then to East Timor and Singapore.
