Published: March 21, 2009
Pope Benedict XVI, welcomed to the sweltering Angolan capital of Luanda on Friday by the biggest crowds of his African pilgrimage, condemned sexual violence against women in Africa and chided those countries on the continent that have approved abortion.
In remarks to diplomats, Benedict also called for a "conversion of hearts" to rid Angola and the rest of Africa of corruption.
The pope arrived in Angola from Cameroon, where his visit was capped Friday by a meeting with about 15 pygmies who performed a traditional dance and presented him with a turtle.
