I've read a lot of news reports blabbering about the "request" of the pope of Vatican to Saudi arabia king to build a "Church" in Mecca, and of course there was a dismay about the news from Muslims on how such thing could be asked about. and then Muslims came up and say if we do, would you build a "Mosque" in the Vatican? The request from the first place is irrelevant, as there is NO Christians in mecca, even if, no one would go there for Church. There will be hostility from the locals would arise from such thing on non-muslim communities, as lots of locals would think it's political pressure from the west, hence vandalizing such property. besides do we Christians need a church in Saudi Arabia? like a priest and service and all the stuff? Technically we can make up a church, the church is within ourselves. Being away from Church would give you a chance to improve your spiritual self.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. -Matthew 18:20-
