The Popes Visit to the Middle East

          Pope Francis, on May 24^th 2014 , visited the Middle East in the hopes of improving relations between religions and easing tensions in the Middle East.  He was welcomed by the Jordan King, Abdullah II and he stretched the urge for solution of the Syrian Conflict. Jordan is the host of almost 600,000 people who are fleeing from the Syrian conflict. The pope called for more respect for “religious freedom” as it is a “fundamental human right”.  He will begin his two day travel within the West Bank and Israel. The pope will be accompanied by his friends from Argentina who is a rabbi and an imam. He does this to help improve relationships between Muslims, Jews, and Christians in the Holy land. Pope Francis will be the fourth leader of the Roman Catholic Church to visit Jerusalem.

          Regardless of your beliefs, it is beautiful to see people in the world to help improve relationships between religions. Pope Francis is genuine person who appeals to everyone. Pope Francis is the type of person you want to be the head of a religion because he is accepting of everyone. No matter what religion, gender, or sexual orientation, Pope Francis cares. If everyone was like him and respected one another, there would be no conflicts. It does not matter what religion you are into, but what matters is how you tolerate others.
