Authorities and diplomatic corp

12. Meeting the catechists
at Munyonyo
Yours is a holy work.
The Holy Spirit is present
wherever the name of
Christ is proclaimed

13. Meeting the natives at Munyonyo, - scene of the martyrdom of many Christians
We stand here today in Munyonyo at the place where King Mwanga determined to
wipe out the followers of Christ. He failed in this, just as King Herod failed to kill
Jesus. The light shone in the darkness, and the darkness could not overcome it
(cf. Jn 1:5). After seeing the fearless testimony of Saint Andrew Kaggwa and his
companions, Christians in Uganda became even more convinced of Christ’s promises.

14. The Christian community in Uganda grew strong through the witness of the
martyrs. They testified to the truth which sets men free; they were willing to shed
their blood to be faithful to what they knew was good and beautiful and true.

16. you must be teachers, but this is
not enough; you also have to be
witnesses. Your example should
speak to everyone of the beauty
of prayer, the power of mercy
and forgiveness, the joy of
sharing in the Eucharist with
all our brothers and sisters.
You teach what Jesus
taught, you instruct
adults and help parents
to raise their children
in the faith, and you
bring the joy and hope
of eternal life to all.

told the Most Rev. Stanley Ntagali,
Archbishop of the Church of Uganda,

Museum at the Anglican Shrine in

meditate at the fire pit where twenty-
three Anglicans and twenty-two Roman
Catholic converts to Christianity were
brutally martyred on 3rd June 1886

many native
vocations
“You shall receive
power when the
Holy Spirit has
come upon you;
and you shall be my
witnesses in Jerusalem
and in all Judea and
Samaria and to the end
ofthe earth” Acts 1:8

26. lift up your

29. After the mass,
Pope Francis
went to Kololo
to meet

30. to show our
joy and
thanksgiving
Time for
music and
dance

31. Jesus can do anything.
Jesus himself suffered the most
negative experience of all:
he was insulted, he was rejected,
and he was killed. But by God’s
power Jesus rose from the dead.
He can do the same for each of us,
with our negative experiences,
because he is Lord.
“Pray to Jesus,
because he is the
Saviour. Never stop
praying! Prayer is
the most powerful
weapon a young
person has”.

32. With the
youth
at Kololo
“Be model Christians,
confident that
your love of Christ,
your fidelity to the
Gospel, and your wise
use of your God-given
gifts can only enrich,
purify and elevate
the life of this country”

33. What would the
Uganda martyrs
say about the
misuse of our
modern means of
communication,
where young
people are exposed
to images and
distorted views
of sexuality that
degrade human
dignity,
leading to sadness
and emptiness

34. Visit to the Home of
Charity at Nalukolongo
This is a place which
has always been
associated with the
Church’s outreach to the
poor, the handicapped,
the sick. Here, in early
times, slave children
were ransomed and
women received
religious instruction.
I greet the Good
Samaritan Sisters who
carry on this fine
tradition, and I thank
them for their years of
quiet and joyful service
in this apostolate.
And here, Jesus is
present here, because he
said that he would
always be present among
the poor, the sick,
convicts, the destitute,
those who suffer.
Jesus is here.

35. I appeal to all parishes and communities in Uganda – and the rest of Africa –
not to forget the poor! The Gospel commands us to go out to the peripheries
of society, and to find Christ in the suffering and those in need.

36. Passing on
the faith
Integrating
faith with
new cultures
“The blood of the
martyrs runs in the
veins of the Catholics
of Uganda. Don’t
ever forget that!
That way you will
keep the faith”.

37. Once a religious or
a priest stops praying
or prays too little,
because he says he
has too much work,
he has already begun
to lose his memory;
or she has already
begun to lose
her fidelity.
Prayer also means humility.
The humility to see our
confessor regularly
and to confess our sins.

38. To be witnesses –
we need to be faithful,
faithful to remembrance,
faithful to our vocation,
faithful to apostolic zeal.
Fidelity
means
persevering
on the path
of holiness.

39. like the light passing through the
stained glass windows of this
Cathedral, we must let God’s power
and healing pass through us. We must
first let the waves of his mercy flow
over us, purify us, and refresh us, so
that we can bring that mercy to others,
especially those on the peripheries.
Conversion which is the heart of
the Gospel of Jesus (cf. Mk 1:15) –
must be carried out each day,
in the battle to recognize and overcome
those habits and ways of thinking
which can fuel spiritual complacency.
We need to examine our consciences,
as individuals and as communities.

40. End of the fourth day of papal pilgrimage to Africa

41. Love, peace and hope for Africa
and the whole world.

42. For me, a free press, whether independent or religious, provided it is professional –
because what is important is true professionalism, so that the news will not be
manipulated - because reporting injustice and corruption is something important
Press conference returning to Rome

43. ..in an indirect way we do get
involved in politics when we
preach values, true values, and
one of the greatest of those
values is fraternity,
among ourselves.
We are all children of God;
we all have the same Father.
In this sense, we must support a
politics of unity, reconciliation
and tolerance and also
coexistence, friendship!
Fundamentalism is a sickness
which exists in all religions.
We Catholics have some people–
who believe they possess absolute
truth and go around slandering
and defaming everyone else;
they do a lot of harm.
Religious fundamentalism
is not religious.
Why? Because God is missing.
It is idolatrous,
just as money is idolatrous.
Being political, in the sense of winning over people who
have this tendency… that is the “politics” in which we
religious leaders must engage. But fundamentalism,
which always ends up in tragedy or crime, is something
evil, but there is a bit of it in every religion.

44. It strikes me that the question is too narrow, even one-sided. Yes, this is one method.
The Church’s moral teaching is – I think – uncertain about whether it has to do with the
fifth or the sixth commandment: protect life or keep sexual relations open to life? But that
is not the problem. The problem is bigger than that. The question makes me think of what
they once asked Jesus: “Tell us, Master, is it permissible to heal on the Sabbath?” It is a
duty to heal! This question… is it permissible? But malnutrition, exploitation, slave
labour, the lack of drinking water: these are the problems. Let’s not worry about using
this or that bandage for a small wound. The big wound is social injustice, environmental
injustice, the injustice I mentioned with exploitation and malnutrition.

45. They have many values and those values are constructive. I also have the experience of being friends –
this is a strong word, “friends” – with a Muslim: he is a world leader. We can talk: he has his values, I
have mine. He prays, and I pray. Many values… For example, prayer, fasting, religious values but not
only. One can not write off a religion because there are some groups – or sometimes many groups – of
fundamentalists. It is a historical fact that there have always been wars of religion. And we too have to ask
forgiveness…..We too have to ask pardon for cases of fundamentalist extremism, for the wars of religion.
Anyway, [Muslims] have their values and we can dialogue with them. Today I was in the mosque and
I prayed; and the Imam wanted to come with me to circle the little stadium where many people
were not able to fit… And there, on the popemobile, were the Pope and the Imam
FUNDAMENTALISM

46. Africa is a victim. Africa has always been
exploited by other powers. From Africa people
came to America, sold as slaves. There are
powers who seek only to take the great wealth of
Africa, which is perhaps the richest continent…
But they don’t think about helping the country to
grow, about making sure that everyone has a
job… Exploitation. Africa is a martyr.
Historically, it has been a martyr to exploitation.
Perhaps people who associate Africa only with
disasters and wars don’t really understand the
harm done to humanity by some forms of
development. That is why I love Africa, because
Africa has been a victim of other powers.
