VATICAN CITY - The brutal civil war in Syria and the killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya have given a sense of urgency to Pope Benedict XVI's trip this week to Lebanon, a mission he describes as a pilgrimage of peace for the entire region.
The three-day visit starting Friday will take the pope to the nation with the largest percentage of Christians in the Middle East — nearly 40 per cent of Lebanon's 4 million people, with Maronite Catholics the largest sect.

He'll be welcomed into the country. Lebanon is a very diverse country with Christians, Catholics, and Muslims living with each other.
