From New Zealand-
They talked about current issues facing all New Zealanders,
particularly Māori and indigenous communities when it comes to
employment, youth issues, housing, health, and education.
The Anglican Church was pivotal in securing the audience with the Pope
and the royal party for the papal audience was supported by a delegation
that included the Anglican Archbishop Emeritus Sir David Moxon and
Archdeacon Ngira Simmonds.
The King is of Pai Mārire faith, while his daughter was baptised Catholic by the people of Whanganui.
The King and his delegation then went on to Monte Cassino, where
he paid his respects at the Cemetery of Cassino to the 457 New
Zealand soldiers that died there, including the 60 from the
28th Māori Battalion.
