On Missionary Roads Na Misijných Cestách Ii. English

From Botswana to Thailand, from Peru to Bosnia, the missionary work of the Catholic Church stretches from pole to pole, encompassing every part of the globe. Jozef Cardinal Tomko, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples from 1985 to 2001 under the late Pope John Paul II, shares his account of the many missionary journeys he made around the world. Often accompanying the Pope, Cardinal Tomko saw firsthand how the Church is dealing with the particular challenges of various cultures around the world. He gives witness to the flowering of faith as well as the hardships that many Catholics face in other countries. The encyclopedic knowledge of countries and peoples that the Cardinal possesses will enrich the reader's understanding of the world today, and show that the Roman Catholic Church is truly "one, holy, catholic, and apostolic." **Lavishly Illustrated with color photographs** Part One : Africa -- Southern Africa -- Central Africa -- Western Africa -- Eastern Africa -- Northern Africa -- Part Two : Asia -- Western Asia And Islamic Territory -- Region Of Hindu And Buddhist Cultures -- Buddhist Territory -- East Asia -- Central Asia And Other Territories -- Part Three : The Americas -- North America -- Latin America -- Part Four : Oceania -- Part Five : Europe.
