Pope's Trip to Morocco to Highlight Christian-Muslim Ties


FILE - In this Sunday, March 10, 2019 file photo, Christians, mostly sub-Saharan migrants, attend mass in a cathedral in Rabat, Morocco. Pope Francis is forging ahead with his promotion of moderate Islam during a weekend trip to Morocco, seeking to build on warming ties with the Sunni world while also ministering to a tiny Catholic community and offering solidarity with migrants. Muslims, Christians and Jews have long lived peacefully in Morocco, even though Catholics are a tiny minority of about 23,000. The pope is travelling to Morocco 34 years after St. John Paul II became the first pope to visit. ___El Masaiti contributed from Rabat, Morocco.
