The Pope arrived for a four-day tour of the Kingdom, in which he first visited the Bahrain Forum for Dialogue: East and West for Human Coexistence in Awali, where he also met Muslim leaders. The Pope then made his way to Our Lady of Arabia Cathedral for Mass, prayer, and meetings with the Catholic community of Bahrain.

He even posted this Tweet about Bahrain, after his arrival

The Kingdom of #Bahrain Declaration teaches that “whenever hatred, violence and discord are preached, God’s name is desecrated”. The one who is religious strongly rejects the blasphemy of war and the use of violence. #ApostolicJourney
