Georgian Orthodox priests take part in a protest against Pope Francis' arrival, in Mtskheta, Georgia, on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2016. The pontiff is traveling to Georgia and Azerbaijan for a three-day visit. Francis' arrival to the 11th-century Svetitskhoveli Orthodox cathedral, the spiritual capital of Georgia and where Christianity took root in the 4th century, and which is said to have housed Christ's tunic, was met with protests of hardline Orthodox believers opposed to any ecumenical initiatives by their church. They demonstrated outside holding signs saying "The Vatican is a spiritual aggressor," and "Death of papism." (AP Photo/Shakh Aivazov)
