The Pope arrived in Slovakia early Sunday afternoon. On his way down the stairs, pilgrims shouted greetings in Spanish. <\/p>\n
'Long live Pope Francis!'<\/em><\/p>\n There he was met by the president of Slovakia, Zuzana Caputova.<\/p>\n \u201cI fulfilled my promise.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n At the airport he greeted the country's political leaders, as well as a Holocaust survivor. <\/p>\n The Pope also met a Catholic who was forced to practice his faith in secret during the country's communist rule. He then became the president of the Slovakian parliament after the country's transition to democracy. <\/p>\n -I thank God for you. Every night my wife and I pray for you. The Pope will spend three nights in Bratislava and will visit four cities around the country. <\/p>\n He is scheduled to celebrate a Mass in the Byzantine liturgy, meet with members of the Roma community, and address Slovakia's youth in a large assembly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n JMB<\/p>\n TR: JM <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" September 12, 2021.
