Australian Church Leaders share in the hope that Pope brings to Papua New Guinea

Leaders of Religious Institutes, Bishops and the CRA National Executive Director formed the Australian delegation which welcomed the Pope’s recent visit to our nearest neighbour, Papua New Guinea. During his 12-day visit to the Asia Pacific, which is the longest yet since becoming Pope, he promoted tolerance and interreligious dialogue, he encouraged care for the poor and the environment, and pleaded for the protection of women and girls.
