  The last we checked, people professing the Christian religion constituted ~70% of the population in Ghana (25,000,000), with Catholics a solid ~13% (3,000,000) among them.

  The last we checked, people professing the Christian religion constituted ~70% of the population in Ghana (25,000,000), with Catholics a solid ~13% (3,000,000) among them.
  
  One does not have to be a Catholic, or a believer in God even, to appreciate what Pope Francis stands for, to which he puts his capital.
  We discern a public figure wisely investing his capital to help produce a sane world for all, the marginalized ones, in particular. Thus, apologies for transgressions by the powerful and the majority, is never too late.
  
  As such, the reflective and liberating theology of the Pope ought to also be of interest to all Ghanaians and Africans, not just those in South America!
  
  READ: "...(W)hile we commend...(the Pope)...for apologizing to Latin Americans and others for the Catholic Church’s “grave sins” (Casas), his...apologies fell short of admitting the Church’s support for Catholic African leaders such as Emperor Bokassa, Mobuto Sese Seko, Felix Houphouet-Boigny among others, while, on the other hand, failing to denounce Western complicity in the death, imprisonment, or overthrow of Nelson Mandela, Amilcar Cabral, Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba and other progressive leaders of Africa...//...To cap off our discussion we shall humbly ask Pope Francis to take advantage of a potential visit to Africa to call on the West to apologize for the crimes it has committed and continues to commit against Africa..."
  
  
  WE SAY: For us at GhanaHero.com, we are thinking that is due Ghananains (and Africans): Apologies for their role in the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, in 1966.
  
  PEACE!

  Some Africans don't like learning new things. They will rather sulk in their ignorance and long for the days of their ancestors.This Koku idiot is one of them.
