(CNN) Pope Francis left Rome on Sunday night and will become the first pope to visit Myanmar when he arrives Monday. The last pope to visit Bangladesh was Pope John Paul II in 1986. In February, before the latest violence, Pope Francis prayed for the Rohingya refugees during a general audience at the Vatican, saying they were "good people" who were being "tortured and killed." One of the big, early indicators of Pope Francis' intentions will be whether he will say the word Rohingya, a politically charged term in Myanmar. "They call them Bengalis to imply they are actually people from Bangladesh," Connelly said.
