@LukeMye48429084 And why did Pope Leo put a muslim prayer room in the Vatican?! Fr. Chris Vorderbruggen @FatherChris FatherChrisVor1 I can't imagine why this has to be answered again, but here goes. Because there are Islamic scholars who professionally use the library. Muslims pray five times a day on a very strict schedule. They do not just pray sitting down quietly. They have physical gestures to do and words that need to be spoken out loud. The scholars asked if there would be a room that they could go to where they could privately do their thing without interrupting any of the other library patrons. The Vatican said yes, and provided them with a small space.
