The intention of the pope, he said, is \u201cto make us understand that it is absolutely necessary\u201d to find a place where there can be strong mutual respect and cooperation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The pope will have a chance to underline the role governments, diplomats and members of civil society need to play when he meets with them on Nov. 3 at Sakhir Palace. The pope also will meet with King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, who invited the pope and is sponsoring the Forum for Dialogue event.Bahrain, a prosperous archipelago nation of about 30 islands, is the smallest country in the Middle East, with about 1.5 million people, about half of whom are foreign workers. About 74% of the residents are Muslim and 9% are Christian. People of the Hindu, Buddhist and Jewish faiths are among the other communities present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Bishop Hinder said there are no official statistics for the number of Christians, but the church estimates there are about 80,000 Catholics in Bahrain, about 1,000 of whom are citizens of the kingdom.Catholics in Bahrain hail mainly from the Philippines, India and Sri Lanka. South Americans, Europeans and Arabs from the Levant region account for the rest of the island\u2019s Christian population.Bishop Hinder said Catholics are overjoyed that the pope is coming to encourage them in the faith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">They are \u201ca small flock with little or practically no power,\u201d he said. The papal visit makes them \u201cfeel recognized. \u2018We exist!\u2019\u201d and it will boost their morale.The expatriate workers do not have an easy life, he said, not because they live in a Muslim country, but because it is a life filled with uncertainty as many try to figure out their next move: to stay, return home or seek employment in the West.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Freedom of religion is generally well-respected in Bahrain, \u201ceven if it isn\u2019t completely ideal,\u201d the bishop said. For example, there are no official legal obstacles to religious conversion, he said, but there can be huge pressure from society and especially from one\u2019s family against conversion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Bahrain was the first country in the Persian Gulf to build a Catholic church \u2014 the Sacred Heart Church, which was inaugurated in 1939 on Christmas Eve. On his last day in Bahrain, the pope will hold a prayer meeting there with bishops, priests, religious, seminarians and pastoral workers.The country is now also home to the largest cathedral in the Persian Gulf region; Our Lady of Arabia Cathedral was consecrated in December in Awali, which is 16 miles south of the capital Manama. It was built to better serve the growing Catholic population \u2014 estimated at 2.5 million \u2014 throughout the Gulf region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The pope will hold an ecumenical meeting and prayer for peace in the cathedral on Nov. 4, right after he meets with Sheikh Ahmad el-Tayeb, grand imam of Egypt\u2019s Al-Azhar mosque and university, and with members of the Muslim Council of Elders \u2014 an international group of Islamic scholars and experts \u2014 at the mosque of Sakhir Palace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Pope Francis will celebrate Mass at Bahrain National Stadium in Awali on Nov. 5, and Bishop Hinder said organizers have set aside reserved seating for Catholics from nearby nations, especially from Saudi Arabia, which does not allow Christians to practice their faith openly.The pope\u2019s visit will send \u201ca strong signal\u201d to Saudi Arabia, which will surely be watching, but is moving more slowly than some other nations in the region when it comes to greater respect for religious freedom and the dignity of all people, Bishop Hinder said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI am confident that going to a small state that does not have a lot of power in the game of Middle East politics\u201d is perhaps \u201ca good place for sending a signal\u201d to the surrounding region, the bishop said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">While there have been some political reforms, Human Rights Watch has flagged several concerns, especially with the work visa sponsorship system, which gives employers excessive power over their foreign employees, and with the use of the death penalty and long prison sentences for pro-democracy activists.Bishop Hinder said he would not expect the pope to raise those concerns publicly because, in his experience, more can be done \u201cbehind the scenes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Countries in the West are used to being able to openly criticize others, he said. Bahrain, however, has an \u201caffirmative culture,\u201d which emphasizes praise and encouragement, and discourages open criticism, which would be considered disrespectful.What has been more effective in his discussions with leaders, he said, is to confide honestly and privately in a way that \u201copens the mind\u201d to what the problems are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI expect some problematic things will also be on the agenda,\u201d he said, but handled in a more discreet manner, out of the limelight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Such \u201csymbolic visits by a pope will have effects that we may not be able to foresee today,\u201d he said. \u201cI think his courageous steps will open doors. We don\u2019t know where, but I hope they will also contribute to solutions for the conflicts in the area and perhaps also globally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Papal trip to Bahrain to highlight importance of opening doors Source:Island Catholics in Bahrain hail mainly from the Philippines, India and Sri Lanka.
