STORYLINE:
East Timor’s capital, Dili, was preparing on Sunday to welcome Pope Francis to the small Southeast Asian country on Monday.

Francis has already covered the first two legs of his September 2-13 trip to Southeast Asia and Oceania, having visited Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, and is scheduled to arrive to East Timor from Port Moresby on Monday.

The Papal visit is a prime opportunity to shine the world’s attention on East Timor, the youngest country in Asia.

Out of East Timor’s 1.3 million population, 97% or some 1.26 million identify as Catholic, making it the ‎country with the highest percentage of Catholics outside of Vatican City.
