While meeting with Pope Francis, leaders from Italy's Muslim community invited the Pope to visit the Mosque of Rome.<\/p>\n
'Your Holiness, it is our honor to meet you and recognize your moral and spiritual leadership. We are honored to invite you to the Islamic Cultural Center.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
The Mosque of Rome is one of the biggest mosques in the world. It's also the seat of the Italian Islamic Cultural Center.<\/p>\n
Pope Francis gave a positive response to the invitation.<\/p>\n
'It would be a great pleasure to visit you also, because it would be a great sign of our brotherhood.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
The group gave the Pope a cloth with the 99 words for God in Arabic. The first, they explained, meant 'mercy.\u00e2?\u009d In turn, he gave them small medallions.<\/p>\n
One of the Islamic representatives asked Pope Francis to pray for him as they gave their farewells.<\/p>\n
This won't be Pope Francis' first time inside a mosque. In one of the most dramatic moments of his trip to Africa, he visited Bangui's Central Mosque. He has also visited the Blue Mosque in Turkey.<\/p>\n
