A visitor take photo in front of welcome banner for Pope Francis at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in ManamaAs Pope Francis departs on Thursday for his Apostolic Journey to the Kingdom of Bahrain, Bishop Paolo Martinelli, OFM Cap., the Vicar Apostolic of Southern Arabia, offers his perspective on the papal visit.
For all the Catholics who live in the Gulf, this second visit by Pope Francis is a great event. The Abu Dhabi meeting in February 2019 had already brought a strong wind of hope. The Document on Human Fraternity signed by the Holy Father and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmad Al-Tayyeb, was a cornerstone of the dialogue between people of different faiths. But it was also a document that pushed the religions to collaborate together for the creation of a more human and fraternal world.
Q: What can you tell us about the Church in Arabia, where many Catholics and most priests are foreigners? How do those aspects make it unique? I believe that precisely these characteristics make this Church important for the universal Church. To show how it is possible to be different and united at the same time, making differences a source of richness and not of division. Here it is easier to experience the universality of the Church. Our society is more and more mixed; the Church must show the beauty to be one and different as an example of coexistence.
