Dubai’s climate of tolerance is real, but measured. Catholics can worship freely on parish grounds, run schools and catechism programs, but public religious visibility remains tightly circumscribed.
On Sunday, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin delivered greetings from Pope Francis at the inauguration of the faith pavilion.

The Vatican indicated the Holy Father will still attempt to participate in the conference in some fashion.
Pope Francis is scheduled to speak at COP28 in Dubai’s Expo City on Dec. 2 at 10 a.m.
During the Feb. 3-5 trip, the first by a pontiff to the Arab Peninsula, the Holy Father will attend an interfaith meeting and celebrate a Mass for the country’s large immigrant Catholic population.
