   Pope Francis once again used his weekly general audience Wednesday at
   the Vatican to discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and urged the world's
   leaders to remember all segments of society as they fight the
   coronavirus and work to rebuild world economies.

   Speaking before a limited group of masked faithful in a Vatican
   courtyard, Francis said everyone has something to contribute as the
   world attempts to emerge from this crisis But, he said, society's
   leaders must respect and promote "the intermediate or lower levels" of
   society.
