This is the Irish schoolgirl who can claim to be the Pope's penpal

A schoolgirl from Galway received an answer from Pope Francis after a question she asked the Pontiff made its way into a book which features contributions from children around the world.

Clara Ó Gormáin, a 12-year-old from Salthill, Co Galway, can claim to be the Pope’s penpal after writing to him in Irish and asking: “An airíonn tú mar Phápa gur tú athair ag an domhain iomlán?” — does he feel like a father to everyone?

She also sent a picture that she had drawn.
