Christians are a tiny minority in Morocco where 99% of the population is MuslimPublished 11:44 PM, March 31, 2019RABAT, Morocco – Pope Francis on Sunday, March 31, warned Catholics in Morocco against trying to convert others to boost their small numbers, during a rare visit by a pontiff to the North African country. Speaking in Rabat's cathedral on his second day in the Moroccan capital, Francis insisted trying to convert people to one's own belief "always leads to an impasse." Waiting for the pope outside, a Nigerian man said the visit "shows that living together is possible in Morocco." On Saturday he visited migrants at a Caritas charity centre, where the pope criticised "collective expulsions" and said ways for migrants to regularise their status should be encouraged.
