Pope Francis celebrates a Jubilee mass for prisoners in Saint Peter's Basilica at the VaticanBy Philip Pullella VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Prisoners from around the world attended a special Mass by Pope Francis on Sunday, hearing him call for society to put more trust in rehabilitation, improved jail conditions and more clemency. Francis, who has often criticized the effects of unbridled capitalism, also said those who worship the laws of financial markets are themselves prisoners of their own ideologies because markets often punish the weakest members of society. The Vatican said about 1,000 prisoners took part in the Mass in St. Peters Basilica.
