| Sumario: | On September 6, the Colombian people will welcome Pope Francis on a four day trip to the Latin American country. It is the third Apostolic Visit of a Pope to Colombia after that of Paul VI in 1968 and of John Paul II in 1986. What will be the political, social and religious landscape that the Pope will find upon his arrival? This is an evolving context in which the Colombian Church – in the light of the agreement with FARC, peace negotiations with the ELN, the political re-constitution of the country, and social demonstrations in favor of human dignity and the common good – has an opportunity to be both prophetic, pastoral and that of a guide at the same time.
