Vatican officials offered to house a homeless woman who gave
birth near St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday.
Italian police found the woman while patrolling the area—she
had given birth on a piece of cardboard around 2 a.m. Wednesday, according to
CBS News.
Officers covered the mother and child in their jackets to
protect them from the near freezing temperatures, later taking them to a nearby
hospital.
The woman received a visit from Monsignor Konrad Krajewski,
who carries out Pope Francis’ charity missions. He offered her space at a home
owned by the Vatican for mother and babies in need.
According to a Vatican spokesman, the woman has not decided
if she will accept the offer.
