Mons. Nwachukwu: "The Catholic Church,Salvation and Opportunity in Africa".
"The Catholic Church constitutes a reference point for the continent of Africa" said Mons.
Fortunatus Nwachukwu,Head of Protocol for the Secretary of State in the Vatican, during last Harambee Africa International forum that was held in Rome last 23rd of February."Africa is being spoken about more and more,even becoming a fashionable topic.Lots of public personalities are used to travelling to be photographed with African children,but more to highlight their own public image than to contribute really to the solutions of problems that afflict the infants of Africa".
"Africa -according to Mons. Nwachukwu -needs above all to be loved". We need to eliminate the negative stereotypes,that paint it as sad and incompetent.In front of the temptation to abandonment or inertia "it is neccessary to oppose-in the judgement of Mons Nwachukwu-the determination of institutions like the Catholic Church which has gathered and developed so many signs of hope launched in this continent."
"The Church is especially present in the Sub-Saharan zone and is called to favor -he continued,citing the programme lines of the synod on Africa that will take place in October in Rome- reconciliation,justice and peace.These are the lines of action that will permit us to put an end to the conflicts,stemming from selfishness,that often provoke true fratricide".The politics and the military in Africa have failed because they have shown exclusive attention to the personal interests and the tribes.While, on the contrary, catholic missionaries have not been mistaken: they have brought hospitals,education and food.Lots also have sacrificed their own lives to bring the light of the world and the sun of the world.
