4:00 - In Just Over 48 Hours, Benedict XVI Charts Course for Africa
Pope Benedict XVI completed his three-day visit to Benin with a firm prediction that Africa can give a great Christian witness to the rest of the world. “It is a continent for which I have a special regard and affection, for I am deeply convinced that it is a land of hope,” he said at his departure ceremony. The center of the visit was the signing of his Apostolic Exhortation “Africae Munus,” a teaching document which charts a future for the Catholic Church in Africa. The document contains the Pope’s conclusions following the Synod of African Bishops held in Rome in 2009. We talk to George Wirnkar, EWTN correspondent for this papal trip.
