Vatican City - Pope John Paul paid tribute yesterday to Roman Catholic missionary priests and nuns who were killed for their faith recently.

The Pope, who appeared in relatively good form, paid his tribute during a mass in ST Peter's Square for more than 20,000 priests and nuns who travelled to Rome for a special millennium year celebration.
