Pope Francis said Monday that fundamentalism was “a disease of all religions”, including the Roman Catholic Church, but had nothing to do with God. We can also call to mind the many acts of solidarity which Christians and Muslims have shown with regard to their fellow citizens of other religious confessions, by welcoming them and defending them during this latest crisis in your country, as well as in other parts of the world.

In Uganda, the second African country he visited, the pope toured a shrine on Saturday that memorializes the 19th-century Christian martyrs who were burned alive for their faith. With meme-worthy photo of Pope Francis gripping a microphone alongside hip-hop lyrics inspired by His Holiness.

In a foreboding statement, the Pope yesterday claimed the conference is most likely humanity’s last chance to thwart global environmental disaster – and warned the world was “at the limits of suicide”.

However, what many didn’t realise was that Pope Francis often adopts the slightly bent pose due to his sciatica – the illness which causes him back pain.

Anyone who has a role of evangelizer, teacher or preacher in the Christian community, he said, must be “first and foremost practitioners of forgiveness, specialists in reconciliation, experts in mercy”.

Despite the tight security, the visit took place in a relaxed atmosphere.

President Francois Bozize was ousted in a coup in March 2013 and a group of mostly muslim rebels from the north, the Seleka, marched on Bangui, briefly taking control of the country.

Francis reminded the Muslims in the mosque that the origins of the conflict weren’t religious and urged them to put aside their differences.

“It is my fervent wish that the various national consultations to be held in coming weeks will enable the country to embark serenely on a new chapter of its history”, he said Sunday at a meeting with government officials and diplomats.

“We have live in fear for many years, and I hope his visit will bring a lasting peace to our people”.

Everywhere he went, his audience appeared receptive, expressing frustration with the conflict.

Under heavy United Nations and Vatican protection, Pope Francis travelled in his open popemobile into the heart of PK5, where 15 000 Muslims are surrounded by Christian militias.

“Every year the problems are getting worse”.

The pope largely avoided referencing AIDS during his trip over the past week, but he did visit HIV-infected children at a Ugandan hospital, according to the Associated Press.
