After visiting two Southeast Asian countries and one Pacific Island nation, Pope Francis has just arrived in Singapore where he will spend almost 48 hours.CFM 2024 Merdeka and Malaysia Day Media Statement: Let us celebrate our diversity with respect and trust for all Malaysia nsA Singaporean Catholic prays during Mass at St. Joseph's Church in Singapore on Sept. 10, ahead of Pope Francis' visit to the city-state.
The National University of Singapore is more than a prestigious venue for a papal discourse. Located outside the historical center of the island-state, this higher education and scientific research site is one of the best academic institutions in Asia with students and researchers from all around the world. With other universities and research centers, it positions Singapore as the most vibrant academic hub of Asia. The visit of the pope is a powerful symbol..
In Asia, wherever local governments allow it, the Catholic Church runs schools and universities open to all but where Catholic students are generally the minority. Even though some believe that the goal of these confessional institutions is to insidiously convert non-Christians, more than one hundred years of statistics show the opposite. The vast majority of students never convert to Catholicism.
And their schools are highly engaged in interreligious dialogue — a vital disposition for the stability and development of Asian societies. Since Catholics are often a minority among students, and since religion is something valuable for them, Catholic institutions stand as a distinct space of interreligious encounter and engagement. Distinct faiths can be recognized and encountered.
