286 - Pakistan: A minority Church in a country 97% Muslim

Pakistan has nearly 180 million inhabitants, of which about 1.2 million are Catholics. The constitution states that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is officially a secular country and a number of recent laws have reiterated equality of citizens "without distinction based on race or creed". The Chairman of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Pakistan, Archbishop Joseph Coutts, however, has criticized a growing extremism and intolerance towards Christians in Pakistan. Non-Muslim minorities have always been disadvantaged, but now the situation seems to be worsening. Host Mark Riedemann interviews the Archbishop of Karachi, his Excellency Archbishop Joseph Coutts.
