Kaulimbiu ya ziara ni “Amani iwe nanyi” huku akisisitiza umoja wa dini tofauti.
Katika ziara yake nchini Algeria, Pope Leo XIV amesisitiza ujumbe wa amani na kuishi kwa pamoja kati ya Wakristo na Waislamu. Kaulimbiu ya ziara hiyo ni “Amani iwe nanyi,” ujumbe ambao Vatican inasema ndio msingi wa safari hiyo.
Algeria ina jamii ndogo ya Wakristo wapatao 9,000 ikilinganishwa na Waislamu milioni 47, lakini viongozi wa dini wanasema kuna ushirikiano mkubwa kati ya jamii hizo.
Askofu Mkuu wa Algiers, Jean-Paul Vesco, alisema kuwa watu wengi wanaotembelea basilika ni Waislamu, jambo linaloonyesha uwezekano wa kuishi kwa amani licha ya tofauti za kidini.
Papa alikutana pia na waumini wa dini tofauti, akisisitiza umuhimu wa kujenga jamii yenye mshikamano na kuheshimiana.
