BUDAPEST, Hungary: Pope Francis on Sunday called on Hungarians to be 'open' toward migrants, as he wrapped up a three-day visit to the central European country whose nationalist premier has taken a staunch anti-immigration stance.

Tens of thousands thronged a central Budapest square to hear the pope lead an open-air mass during which he urged all, including 'those with political and social responsibilities,' to be more open.
