". . . . Archbishop Paul-Mounged El-Hachem, the papal envoy to the smaller countries on the Arabian peninsula, such as Kuwait and Qatar, has confirmed that talks are under way to establish formal diplomatic relations between the Vatican and Saudi Arabia, and to eventually allow for Catholic churches to be built there. Pope Benedict XVI is believed to have personally appealed to King Abdullah on the topic during the Saudi monarch's first ever visit to the Vatican last November."

A Catholic church has popped up in Qatar and there is talk of a future church in Saudi Arabia? I recall that all of this current conflict got its startd because Bin Laden couldn't tolerate infidels on the holy soil of Islam during Desert Storm. He will probably have an anurism upon seeing this news.
