East Timor’s first papal visit: Head of the Roman Catholic Church makes history
The head of the Roman Catholic Church Pope Francis has begun his first full day in East Timor, where some 97 percent of the population is Catholic.
It’s the first visit by a Pope to the nation since it gained independence in 2002.
