CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis received President José Maria Neves of Cabo Verde in a June 14 audience.
Following the audience, Neves met with Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, the Holy See’s Secretary for Relations with States and International Organizations. According to a Vatican statement, the parties discussed security, conflicts, migration, and human trafficking.
The audience with the Pontiff “was a memorable meeting,” said Neves. “We talked above all about peace and fraternity in the world, freedom of spirit, and the dignity of the human person.”
Located in the Atlantic off the coast of Africa, Cabo Verde, a nation of 600,000 (map), is 95% Christian (84% Catholic) and 3% Muslim.
