Paus Fransiskus menegaskan pentingnya menjadi pribadi kokoh dan menjadi keluarga serta komunitas yang bisa diteladani.

Paus Fransiskus memimpin misa suci yang digelar di Stadion Sir John Guise, Port Moresby, Papua Niugini.

Minggu (8/9/2024), Paus Fransiskus dijadwalkan menggelar dua kali misa di Papua Niugini. Di mana saja?

Umat Katolik Papua Niugini menempuh perjalanan panjang menembus hutan demi menyambut kedatangan Paus Fransiskus.

Manda village was not big. There were only twenty stilt houses scattered quite far from each other. All the houses were made of gedek (bamboo) and were quite large.

Local residents from Papua New Guinea (PNG) trade at that market. They spread out their mats on the street under the hot sun, waving their hands to keep flies away from their fish and shrimp.

Everywhere there were warnings against chewing areca nuts. Baggage inspection officers with x-ray machines were also very careful to check whether there were passengers who brought areca nuts on board.

The reality is that Indonesia is a country inhabited by various ethnic groups. The negative stigma among some PNG citizens toward Indonesia is mainly based on the feeling of Melanesian brotherhood with the Papuans.
