(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 15 - Pope Francis on Friday called on the diocese of Rome to offer the homeless a home ahead of the Roman Catholic Jubilee Holy Year next year.
    "In view of the Jubilee, I have asked my diocese to give a tangible sign of attention to housing issues so that, in addition to the welcome given to all the pilgrims who will flock, forms of protection are activated for those who do not have a home or who risk losing it," Francis said in a letter for the Jubilee to parish priests, religious and clergy.
    "In this perspective, I wish that all diocesan entities that own properties offer their contribution to stem the housing emergency with signs of charity and solidarity to generate hope in the thousands of people in the city of Rome who are in precarious housing conditions". (ANSA).
