Pope Leo XIV met on April 16 evening with a group of 12 representatives of several Cameroonian Islamic communities, some of whom he had received in Rome in December 2025, the Vatican News reported April 17.
The Pope expressed “his gratitude for the warm welcome he has received from everyone in Cameroon: Christians, Catholics and non-Catholics, Muslims, and people of traditional religions.” He encouraged all Cameroonians to continue “to communicate everyone’s desire to find peace, not a peace of indifference, not a peace that takes away the richness of differences, but a peace that is born when we recognize that we are all brothers and sisters, all creatures of the One alone, all called to respect the dignity of all.”
