The Holy Father and the king sign joint appeal for Jerusalem.

The Pope met with a 97 year old Franciscan nun and other religious at St. Peter's Cathedral in Rabat.

I read that Christianity isn't recognised as a formal religion in the country and that there are some penal laws against Moroccan Christians, so it was interesting to see this visit from the Pope and I hope it resulted in smoother relations between Christians and other Moroccans.

Makes good sense to me.

A nice birthday surprise from the Pope Francis to the two Jurnalists (they cover the trip in Morocco) on the flight back :
"Pope (82) surprising @gerryorome (refuses to reveal age) of @americamag and me (65) with a birthday cake made of Moroccan figs, on flight from Rabat Sunday night. We both added a year during the trip. At @Pontifex left is spokesman @AGisotti. (44). All 3 have more hair than me."

Thanks for the correction, Mademoiselle Lilo. It's great that the Pope visited Morocco and met the RF as well as other locals.
