Your comment prompts me to think that an interesting conversation might be: With whom would we like to see Pope Francis meet?

My first thought is the Ayatollah Khomeini. I am so puzzled by the disparity between the Iranians that I have met, and the terrible comments made about Iran by my government. Is there any commonality between our cultures?

My comfort zone would be for that to occur at the Vatican.

That meeting would be tough to work out, as Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini died in 1989 (nobody could ever call the first week of June, 1989 uninteresting from a news standpoint…). Maybe you meant Ayatollah Khamenei?

Thank you so much for the correction - which is to my point that I would like to learn more about Iran and that I need to learn more about the theocracy that is Iran.
 
Not to mention there just aren’t that many Russian Catholics. Not that that’s a reason the Pope should stay away, but I don’t see why it should be a priority over areas that have a higher proportion of Catholics.
