Pope in Myanmar: Francis faces tricky trip

Quote:

Pope Francis has departed the Vatican for Myanmar on the first papal visit to the country that has this year been widely accused of ethnic cleansing.
Focus will likely be on whether he uses the term "Rohingya" to describe the country's Muslim minority.
Myanmar officials strongly reject the term, raising concerns it could spark some potential violence if he does.

Clearly a blunder, the world thinks that women is suspect.
