The Pope will be in Bahrain from November 3 to 6. He will visit the cities of Manama and Awali, where he will take part in the"Bahrain Forum for Dialogue: East and West for Human Coexistence". The main events include the Holy Mass at the Bahrain National Stadium and a meeting with young people at the Sacred Heart School.

I think the message coming out of this Forum and the Holy Father's participation is quite clear. It is a sign of unity at a particularly delicate, complex, and in some ways tragic moment in our history.

It seems to me that it has great topicality and it is a bit of a “red thread” that connects all the trips that the Pope has made to those countries; let us remember the last one to Kazakhstan. But we can also go back to the trip he made to Iraq, for example, last year, or before that to the Arab Emirates, Morocco, Egypt, Azerbaijan.

Q. Inclusion and respect for human life are paths always invoked and witnessed by the Pope: what significance do they have for this trip to Bahrain? Yes, that's right, in Bahrain, Islam is the religion of the State and Sharia is the main source of law. The Christian community makes up about ten per cent of that population and there are between 80 and 100 thousand Catholics. Relations with the Holy See were established in 2000 and I think they are good. On the part of the State authorities, there has always been respect and cooperation with Catholics, both the faithful and the Apostolic Vicar.
