RIO DE JANEIRO: Pope Francis toured a Rio shantytown Thursday after receiving the keys to the city and blessing the Olympic flag, before meeting with throngs of young Catholics on Copacabana beach.

Facing the high gold altar, they prayed to Saint James — the apostle who gives his name to the cathedral and the city — for those killed and the more than 140 injured in Wednesday evening’s devastating crash on the town’s outskirts. “Saint James, we ask you to keep protecting us always,” said one of the celebrants, before clerics in black and red robes and public officials in suits filed out grim-faced to sombre strains from the organ. The veneration of Saint J...
