There is much angst amongst 'certain elements' regarding the Papal Visit this September and yet all Christians concerned with Mission and Evangelisation should be pleased that this holy and learned Pope is going to visit our land.
We live in times where we have had deliberate and concerted efforts on the part of those 'certain elements' to remove the Christian Faith from public life and we have even seen Ministers of the Crown state that the UK is a secular nation seemingly forgetting that the Monarch they serve swore to uphold the Christian Faith at her Coronation.
This Papal Visit as well as being a 'State Visit' will also be a Mission to Scotland and England. The Christian Faith will for four days take centre stage in the news. There will undoubtedly be those who wish to protest against this Visit, many for spurious reasons, but no right-thinking person would wish to suppress peaceful and polite dissent. Yet this Visit will allow a much wider audience to hear the Gospel of Christ from a such a learned and renowned Teacher of The Faith, and therefore it should be welcomed by all Christians.
