“In the little Fiat 500 being escorted by the riders of the Royal Guard was Pope Francis, who received full honors last Friday on the second day of his four-day visit to this small Gulf kingdom.”
“"But the pope clearly sees that the confrontation between Sunnis and Shiites, including at the political level through Iran and Saudi Arabia, is at the root of armed conflicts, as in Yemen and Lebanon," this observer said.”
“In a highly political speech at the start of a four-day visit to Bahrain, Pope Francis has spoken out in favor of worker's rights, greater religious freedom and an end to the death penalty in the Gulf state.”
