VATICAN CITY, OCT. 24, 2006 (Zenit.org).
Bishops in the New World are doing what they can to promote Pope John Paul II's concept of the Americas as onecontinent, reports the Vatican .A Vatican communiqué issued Saturday reported that the Special Council for America of the Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops has proposed including U.S.and Canadian bishops as delegates to the 5th General Conference of the Latin American Episcopate, which Benedict XVI plans to attend in Aparecida, Brazil, next May. The final communiqué of the 11th meeting of the council, held in the Vatican on Oct. 2-3, confirmed the "hope" breathed in Rome about preparations for that meeting."It is hoped that delegations of the episcopate of the United States and of Canada will also participate to keep alive what has been called 'John Paul II's geography' of an America considered as one united continent," stated the communiqué. The theme of the meeting will be "Disciples and Missionaries of Jesus Christ, so That Our Peoples Will Have Life in Him." ZE06102405
