Pope visits Morocco to boost dialogue, meet migrantsPope Francis will be the first pontiff to visit Morocco since John Paul II in 1985. The monarch is known as the "commander of the faithful" in Morocco, where 99 percent of the population is Muslim. During the visit, Francis is due to hear from two students -- one African and one European -- as well as a statement by Morocco's Ministry of Islamic Affairs. The pope is due to finish his Saturday schedule by meeting migrants at a centre run by Catholic humanitarian organisation Caritas. On Sunday, the pope will celebrate mass at a Rabat stadium with an estimated 10,000 people attending.
