...John Paul spoke briefly, decrying recent terrorist attacks in Karachi and Istanbul as "horrendous and almost unbelievable acts." Then, waving away helping hands with open irritation, he climbed unassisted down and up a narrow, rocky path to pray at a 13-meter-tall stone statue of Mary the Queen of Peace.
