ROME - Pope Francis on Sunday defended the display of nativity scenes in town squares and other public places, which has become an annual contentious issue at Christmas time in countries such as the United States and France.
There, he signed a papal document known as an Apostolic Letter and titled “Admirabile Signum,” on the meaning and importance of the nativity scene. The construction of such scenes in public squares or on government property is contested regularly by atheist, free speech or secularist groups. Still, even after that ruling, American groups have regularly challenged their use or have demanded equal space on public property to promote their non-religious views.
