“The Scottish bishops express their support in praying to Pope Francis as he recovers from his recent surgery”, declares the spokesman for the Scottish bishops who adds: “After writing to the Holy Father to assure him a warm welcome, should he attend the Conference , I am pleased to hear that he hopes to participate and would be delighted to meet them in Glasgow. “
He adds the note: “The Pope will be in Scotland for a very short period, most of which will be devoted to the COP26 Conference. While many pastoral, ecumenical and interreligious meetings would be desirable while he is with us, time constraints unfortunately mean that such a complete program will not be possible “.
