eNewsletter Subject: A Universal Salvific Mission

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 condomns to fight AIDS, made at the beginning of his African excursion. See Moral Hazard.

Second, on perhaps a more refreshing note, there is a new web site devoted to hearth and home. See our review of Catholic Home & Garden.
