Madonna, who was raised a Roman Catholic, pleaded with the new pontiff to visit the enclave in an Instagram post and said: “Most Holy Father. Please go to Gaza and bring your light to the children before it's too late. As a mother, I cannot bear to watch their suffering. The children of the world belong to everyone. You are the only one of us who cannot be denied entry.”
