03/24/2009 - A Universal Salvific Mission

Today's message of a series of Catholic Culture Insights from Dr. Jeff Mirus, President, Trinity Communications:

The Pope's apostolic visit to Africa provides an outstanding opportunity to appreciate the Church's special love for the people in each region of the world in the context of her universal salvific mission. Here, for convenience, are Benedict XVI's addresses during his current trip:

Press Conference en Route to Cameroon
Reflection on St. Joseph at Vesper Service in Cameroon
Words to Cameroon Muslim Leaders
Africa Can Become the Continent of Hope
Publication of the "Instrumentum Laboris"
Meeting with the Special Council of the Synod for Africa
Meeting with the Sick at Yaounde
Farewell Address at Nsimalen Airport
Angola: Continue Peace-Building and Reconstruction
Meeting the Bishops of Angola and Sao Tome
Homily at Angola's São Paolo Church
Address to Youth at Dos Coqueiros Stadium
Address to Political & Civil Authorities in Luanda
Address to Movements on Promotion of Women
Comments at the Recitation of the Angelus in Luanda
Homily at Mass in Cimangola
Farewell Ceremony at Luanda Airport

That's probably enough to keep anyone busy, but I'd also like to call your attention today to two other items. First, I have a point to make on the brouhaha over the Pope's comments on the dangers of using condoms to fight AIDS, made at the beginning of his African excursion. See Moral Hazard.
