Georgia's Orthodox parents protest against Pope’s visit
The protesters told reporters that "Orthodox Georgians do not need the Pope's blessing." They were holding posters against the Pope's visit. One of them said "The Vatican is a spiritual aggressor!"
Meanwhile, Guiseppe Pasotto, bishop of the Catholic Church in Georgia, told reporters it was unclear to him why anyone should protest against the Pope's visit to Georgia.
"The pope is coming to Georgia as a peace messenger. Why should anyone be against that? As far as I know, Catholicos-Patriarch Ilia II of All Georgia is not against this visit," Pasotto said.
During his visit, which will last from September 30 to October 2, the Pope will meet in Tbilisi with Ilia II, representatives of various religious groups and top officials of Georgia and hold a mass in a stadium, he said.
