Africa is a Continent that has enormous potential and the enormous generosity of the people, with an impressive, living faith.
But we must confess that Europe exported not only faith in Christ, but also all of the vices of the Old Continent.
It exported the sense of corruption, it exported the violence that is currently devastating Africa. And we must acknowledge our responsibility so that the exportation of the faith, an answer to the intimate hope of every human being, is stronger than the exportation of the vices of Europe. This seems to me a great responsibility.
The weapons trade is still alive, with the exploitation of the earth's goods.
We Christians must do much more in these regards so that faith is made present, and with faith, the strength to resist these vices and to rebuild a Christian Africa, destined to be a happy Africa, a great Continent of new humanism. |
