The Pope continued his visit to Turkey Saturday by meeting local leaders of the Armenian, Syrian, Chaldean and Latin Catholic churches.
They form small Christian minorities in an overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim Turkey. Less than one percent of Turkey’s 76 million inhabitants are Catholic.
In the afternoon, he celebrated mass in the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, before a congregation that included Protestants and the spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox community, Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew.
