VATICAN CITY, JUN 22, 2005 (VIS) - Following this morning's general audience catechesis, Pope Benedict saluted the faithful in various languages, including greetings to the members of the Special Council for Africa of the Synod of Bishops who have been meeting at the General Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops.
The Pope said that, "confirming the decision made by my venerated predecessor last November 13, I wish to announce my intention to call the Second Special Assembly for Africa of the Synod of Bishops. I have great hopes that such a gathering will mark a further impulse for evangelization on the African continent, the consolidation and growth of the Church and the promotion of reconciliation and peace."
