The Pope's visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo comes as it's struggling to contain worsening violence.
Eastern Congo has suffered unrest for years.
But fighting has intensified and displaced a million people since the resurgence of the M-23 armed group.
The Pontiff will go on to South Sudan, where civil war and conflict between rival ethnic groups is taking its toll on civilians.
What impact will his visit have on these states?
And what future does Catholicism have in Africa?

Presenter: Sohail Rahman

Guests

Christopher Lamb, correspondent for weekly Catholic newspaper, The Tablet.

Massimo Faggioli, Church Historian and Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at Villanova University.

Stan Chu Ilo, Research Professor of Catholic and African Studies at DePaul University.
