Pontifical forum in Africa to emphasize cultural development, dignity of human person

[Holly3278]

Pontifical groups on culture and evangelization released a communique on Tuesday announcing an upcoming forum next year in Africa which will highlight development strategies in the country, “focusing on the human person made in the likeness and image of God.”

A preparatory meeting for the forum titled “Cultures, identities of peoples and development in Africa and the Black Diaspora” began on Sept. 27 in the city of Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The effort is being promoted by the Pontifical Council for Culture and the Congregation for the Evangelization of peoples, and is slated to be held in Abidjan in March of 2011.

This sounds interesting! I hope that they also speak out against artificial contraception and condoms. I think it’d be great if all of the nations in Africa (and indeed even in the world) would just outright ban condoms, artificial contraception, and especially abortion** !
