Pope Francis on Tuesday sent a message of blessings and best wishes to Kenyans and President Kenyatta.
The Pontiff sent the message when he passed through the Kenyan airspace while flying back to Rome following a tour to Mozambique, Madagascar, and Mauritius.
Pope Francis, who is the leader of the worldwide Catholic Church, invoked blessings of peace and well-being on Kenya in a message conveyed by radio and recorded by Kenya’s Air Traffic Control (ATC).
“President Uhuru Kenyatta, I offer my cordial best wishes to you and the People of Kenya as I return to Rome after my Apostolic visit in Mozambique, Madagascar, and Mauritius,” he said.
Pope Francis added, “Upon all of you, I invoke blessings of peace and well-being.”
The Pope arrived in Maputo, Mozambique on September 4th and later traveled to Madagascar before completing his five-day sojourn in Mauritius.
Pope Francis visited Kenya in November 2015 in his first trip of Africa making him the second Pontiff to visit the country after Pope John Paul II who visited Kenya three times.

Question of Popes office…
Question of Popes office stand as far as the “So called blacks” are concerned.
The first extensive shipment of black Africans to make good the shortage of native slave, what would later become known as the “Transatlantic Slave Trade, was initiated at the request of Bishop Las Casas and authorized by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in 1517.
No condemnation of Transatlantic Slave Trade was made at the time.
-Books critical of slavery were placed on the index of forbidden books by the Holy office between 1573 and 1826.
Capuchin missionaries were excommunicated for calling for the emancipation of black slaves in the Americas.
In 1866, the Holy office of Pope Pius Ix affirmed that, subject to conditions, it was not against divine law for a slave to be sold, bought or exchanged.
Add the above to the evils committed by the Catholic church against those who were left in Africa by the Catholic church during colonialism and after.
All these and many more = The office of the Pope to Kenyans, Africans in the continent and in the Diaspora.
