Discover the vital connection between Humanae Vitae, the encyclical by Saint Pope Paul VI, and the challenges Africa faces regarding population control, contraception, and abortion. In this thought-provoking discussion, we explore the perspective of Professor (Fr) Apollinaire Cibaka Cikongo, rector of the University of Mbujimayi in the Democratic Republic of Congo, who sheds light on the prevailing culture of silence surrounding these issues, even within the Church. Learn about the social debate, the influence of external organizations, and the impact on African society's values and traditions, which prioritize the sanctity of life and the importance of the family. Pope Francis's recent visit to the DRC, where he addressed the violence and hardships faced by the country, further highlights the need for respect and attention towards Africa's destiny. Professor Cibaka emphasizes the role of Humanae Vitae in promoting the dignity of human life, bridging generational gaps, and countering the culture of death. Join us as we delve into this important topic and gain insights into the upcoming conference on the Culture of Life versus the Culture of Death in Africa, where 15 lectures will address these pressing issues. Don't miss this enlightening discussion on promoting the culture of life in Africa through the message of Humanae Vitae.
