Pope Francis meets with Iraqi religious leaders in Ur

Description

Ur, Iraq, Mar 6 (EFE), (Camera: Cristina Cabrejas).- Pope Francis met with several Iraqi religious leaders, including one of Iraq’s most senior Shia clerics, on Saturday, the second day of the first ever papal visit to the war-torn Middle Eastern country.After landing in the capital Baghdad on Friday, the pontiff traveled to the southern city of Ur, where the prophet Abraham -- a principal figure in Islam, Judaism and Christianity -- was born, according to monotheistic tradition."From this place, where faith was born, from the land of our father Abraham, let us affirm that God is merciful and that the greatest blasphemy is to profane his name by hating our brothers and sisters," the pope said.FOOTAGE OF THE MEETING IN UR.
