H.E. Mons. Aldo Berardi, Apostolic Vicar for Northern Arabia; H.E. Mons. Paolo Martinelli, Apostolic Vicar for Southern Arabia. Moderated by Alessandra Buzzetti, Middle East correspondent for Tv2000.

Monsignor Aldo Berardi and Paolo Martinelli are the vicars of the Arabian Peninsula, which includes seven states, among them Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This region combines a deeply rooted Muslim faith with extraordinary modernity, also hosting an entirely migrant Christian community, including the Bishops. Pope Francis has visited these lands twice in the last three years, promoting fraternity and social friendship. The Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi, inspired by the Document on Human Fraternity, hosts a mosque, a synagogue, and a church. This year, amid the Gaza war, an extraordinary Jubilee was proclaimed to commemorate the martyrs of Arabia, Saints Areta and companions.
