Pope Francis in Mongolia
A delegation from the United States of the World took part in meetings with Pope Francis in Mongolia.
The Apostolic Prefect of Ulaanbaatar takes stock of the 43rd apostolic journey of Francis, "wayfarer of peace".
"Many have written to me because they were struck by the Holy Father's words that extolled the beauty and value of Mongolian history and the Mongolian people," the young cardinal says, and continues: "From the Pope a message for the world and neighbouring countries: "He has shown that not everything is determined only by the logic of calculation, power, prevarication".
The youngest cardinal in the Church (49 years old), Giorgio Marengo, is happy for the satisfaction of a recently concluded visit by the Pope to Mongolia, of which he is one of the architects, that has given "great results" for the present and future of the country. And not only. Results that were moreover "unexpected" for a Church without numbers or means that found itself having to organise an event that marked a first in history: the journey of a Pontiff to the land of Genghis Khan, a Central Asian hinge squeezed between Russia and China, home to a "child Church" of just under 1,500 baptised.
Cardinal Marengo, or rather, "Father George" as everyone calls him here, speaks of "total grace", of an "immense gift" because the joy of having the Holy Father here, with his testimony so humble, simple and close, immediately created a harmony with the people, with people from every possible background.
Secretary-General Michele Capasso recalls the importance of small countries in preserving values and memories and emphasises the role of Asian countries in the development of the United States of the World.
