Ten years on from Pope Francis’ visit to South Korea for the 6th edition of the Asian Youth Day, Fr. Diego Cazzolato, a Consolata Missionary, said the Church is seeking to unite immigrants from the Philippines and Nigeria through acts of closeness, while fostering interreligious dialogue in hopes ofTanzania hosts 109th edition of the World Esperanto Congress
In an interview with Vatican News, Fr. Diego expressed his hopes for internal reconciliation and universal fraternity by fostering interreligious dialogue and support for the poor and migrants from the Philippines and Nigeria.Speaking from Daejeon, Fr. Diego recalled his opportunity to meet the Pope in 2014, and his gratitude for the Pope’s message that sought to restore peace and hope to the South Korean population, which was still reeling from a recent tragic event.
“Unfortunately,” he said, “the hope towards reconciliation was completely destroyed not only by those who govern North Korea, but also their own government, which stands against reconciliation more than seeking for peace. The relationship has reached its lowest point in the last fifty years.
The majority come from the Philippines and other Southeast Asian counties, such as Vietnam, Timor-Leste, Thailand and Cambodia, as well as a large group of Nigerians and some Latin Americans.One year ago in Mongolia, Pope Francis’ “presence in the peripheries fostered enthusiasm,” said Fr. Diego. He believes this sentiment and the Pope’s push for dialogue will be vital during his upcoming Apostolic Journey to Southeast Asia, given the cultural differences between Christianity and Islam.
