Pope to press inter-religious respect in Myanmar

A young Rohingya refugee carries a child Oct. 10 while walking in a camp near Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Pope Francis, who will visit Bangladesh Nov. 30-Dec. 2, has appealed for their protection of the Rohingya on several occasions, calling them "our brothers and sisters."
Amid international condemnation of Myanmar’s treatment of the Rohingya people, Pope Francis will visit Myanmar and Bangladesh to recognize each nation’s struggle for independence, promote interreligious respect and encourage the minority Catholic communities.
