A major message from the Pope on this tour (and generally) is “peace”. He’s said “the world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants.” Some of the countries the Catholic leader is travelling to are dealing with active conflicts. His visit also shows the increasing importance of Africa to Catholicism - more than a fifth of the world's Catholics live on the continent. Makuochi Okafor, takes us through it all, from Nigeria. Plus we hear from two young Catholics in Cameroon about their feelings about the Pope’s visit.
