Pope Francis highlighted the Catholic Church's commitment to serving marginalized communities during his visit to Papua New Guinea. On his first full day in the country, the Pope addressed pressing issues such as the protection of women's rights and the need to address tribal violence, both of which are significant challenges faced by the island nation.
During a large mass held in a stadium in the capital city of Port Moresby, Pope Francis reiterated the importance of upholding human rights and promoting peace within communities. His message resonated with the local population, many of whom are affected by social inequalities and violence.
