The Vatican has stated that they are not taking any extra security amounts to shield Pope Francis during his trip to Albania this weekend in spite of all the reports of Islamic militants’ threat from the Mideast. On Monday, Rev. Federico Lombardi, a Vatican spokesperson, told that Pope Francis would use the same open-topped car that he uses in the St. Peter’s Square when he meets people in the poor Balkan nation on Sunday. The security of the Vatican is calm before Pope’s eleven hour tour.
Pope Francis has stated that he wanted to go to Albania to spotlight Christianity’s rebirth that was savagely wiped out during the communist era, and to exhibit how Orthodox, Muslims and Catholics are working with each other to govern the country.
According to reports sources have stated that the Albanian law enforcement had slackened off to Interpol fears that Muslim militants who were trained in Syria and Iraq had come back and they might pose a threat to Pope Francis. There is concern regarding the threat of the Islamic State threat, there are actually no specific ricks or threats that would change the pope’s behavior or the way the trip is organized.
Pope’s decision to visit Albania before any top European capital is in going along with his hope for the church to go to the periphery. This also confirms his hope to boost once-persecuted Christian communities. Like several other religions, Catholicism gravely suffered under Stalinist Never Hoo-ha, who declared this little European country the world’s first atheist state in the year 1967.
