Menag: Paus Fransiskus Akan Kunjungi Indonesia pada 3 September
SEAToday, Vatikan - Menteri Agama Yaqut Cholil Qoumas pada Minggu (31/3) menyebutkan jika Pemimpin Gereja Katolik Paus Fransiskus akan berkunjung ke Indonesia pada 3 September mendatang.
Qoumas menegaskan, pemerintah telah mendapatkan surat pemberitahuan dari otoritas Vatikan terkait kedatangan tersebut. Kehadiran Paus Fransiskus sudah lama dinantikan oleh Presiden Joko Widodo.
“Pada Juni 2022, saya mengantar surat undangan dari Presiden Jokowi kepada Paus Fransiskus. Alhamdulillah, setelah hampir dua tahun menunggu, Paus Fransiskus akhirnya dapat hadir di Indonesia. Ini saya kira menjadi kado istimewa juga bagi umat Katolik khususnya,”
Menag berharap dalam kunjungan ke Indonesia, pemimpin tertinggi umat Katolik tersebut dapat melihat keragaman dan persaudaraan antar umat beragama yang ada di Indonesia.
