This month, Catholic bishops from Pakistan visited the Vatican for their special Ad Limina visit. The group included three archbishops, four bishops, and a cardinal. During the visit, the bishops went to different Vatican departments to submit their reports and meet with Pope Leo XIV. Bishop Samson Shukardin of Hyderabad, president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Pakistan, discussed the challenges that Christians face in Pakistan. He highlighted the misuse of blasphemy laws, systematic discrimination, and the rising number of forced conversions and marriages that target young Christian girls. Despite these problems, Bishop Shukardin said the church remains strong.
