Thousands of Catholics welcomed Pope Francis to the country’s capital, Naypyidaw, where he arrived for a three-day visit to Myanmar on Monday. The army chief told the pope that “Myanmar has no religious discrimination at all. Poppy McPherson (@poppymcp) Pope Francis @Pontifex is here! Pope Francis (@Pontifex) As I prepare to visit Myanmar and Bangladesh, I wish to send a message of greeting and friendship to everyone. Following his visit to Myanmar, Francis will travel to Bangladesh to meet Rohingya refugees.
