    “According to reports, Morales told Francis that the “Communist crucifix” was modeled on a design created by the Rev. Luis Espinal, a politically active priest murdered by right-wing paramilitaries in Bolivia in 1980. The Pope stopped and prayed at the site of the shooting on Wednesday evening.”

    If you zoom in on the silver medallion the Pope is wearing (directly under his left hand in the picture) he is also wearing a hammer and sickle.
