As Pope Francis whisked by the parents of Asia Bibi (her father, in particular) at a General Audience a few weeks back, the type in which the Pope walks by a line of people and says a word or two, he felt perhaps that that was the best he could do for those parents, suffering in an agony of despair over the fate of their daughter.
