Pope Francis gets rockstar welcome in the worlds most catholic nation outside of Vatican City

[Starmix]

Pope Francis was like a rockstar when he visited the tiny Southeast Asian nation of East Timor. This country is the world's most Catholic country where more than half the [population is expected to turn out for an open-air mass this day.

The Pope is preparing to hold an open-air mass with authorities preparing for a crowd of 750, 000 people. The Pope were cheered by crowds from elderly worshippers to babies in their strollers hoping to catch the glimpse of the Pope.

The country has only 1.3 million population and the second most Catholic country in the world.

He is the pope so we shouldn't expect anything less than a honor for him as he turned up for them

When Pope visited my country before the pandemic, there were 85 million Filipinos who supported him during his Mass and procession.

I noticed that the pope is always supported and reference wherever he goes. So he would always be welcomed

That's good though, I hope the mass crusade goes well for them without any sort of incident taking place.

That is right but not all countries like to welcome him. The Pope only visited a country that has many Catholic supporters.
