Pope Francis has urged Roman Catholic Church leaders to make bold changes to better protect the Amazon and its indigenous people at the start of a three-week meeting that could become one of the most controversial moments in his papacy. The Pope celebrated an opening Mass in St Peter's Basilica on Sunday, where he criticised a "new colonialism" that puts profit ahead of protecting the environment.
