Pope Benedict’s Visit to the UN

April 28th, 2008

A DPI/NGO Briefing was held on the occasion of Pope Benedict’s April 18 visit to the United Nations. The briefing focused on the significance of His Holiness’ visit and its impact on present global issues.

This event was the first in the Focus on Faith series, during which the panelists shared insights into the topic and underlined the links between the principles of the United Nations and – in this case – the Catholic Church.

The speakers included: H.E. Archbishop Celestino Migliore, Apostolic Nuncio, Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations; Sister Dorothy Farley, Executive Director, International Catholic Organizations/ Information Center at the United Nations; and Mr. Peter Steinfels, Co-Director, Fordham University Center on Religion and Culture.
