I am appalled that Francis is making a foreign trip during a pandemic. He and his party are vaccinated, most people in Iraq are not. Watching TV footage of crowds lining his route there was no social distancing to be seen. Further the large number of security personnel needed adds further risk.
My prayer for this trip is that it will not be a super spreader.
