Pope Francis is welcomed by Bulgarian Patriarch Neofit at the Palace of the Synod in Sofia. Pope Francis arrived in Bulgaria, where he will meet members of the tiny Catholic community, but the main Orthodox Church has rejected the idea of holding joint prayers with the pontiff. The three-day tour, which also takes place in North Macedonia, includes a visit to a refugee camp on the outskirts of Sofia and a commemoration of Mother Teresa, the most famous native of the Macedonian capital Skopje.
