Pope Francis warned the world of a “retreat from democracy” that’s been occurring in Europe and other nations.

The pope made his comments during a three-day visit to Greece, warning against nationalism and populism.

“[Democracy] is complex, whereas authoritarianism is peremptory and populism’s easy answers appear attractive,” the pope said.
