The first Catholic Church in Qatar opened Sunday. Cardinal Dias was on hand to give a relic of Padre Pio to the Church as a gift. The Vatican's in negotiations to open one in Saudi Arabia now. Saudi Arabia which expelled the last Catholic priest in 1985 Saudia Arabia? Can't say I'm sanguine about the outcome, but I'm astonished there is even a conversation taking place. Wow, the out-of-touch academic Pope really blew it with that Regensberg lecture, didn't he?
Our Lady of Riyadh, Pray For Us.
