Earlier today, the Holy Father, Pope Francis received in
Audience in the Vatican Apostolic Palace their Majesties the King of Lesotho,
Letsie III, and Queen Mastenate Mohato Seeiso. The Sovereign subsequently met
with Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone, accompanied by Archbishop
Dominique Mamberti, Secretary for Relations with States.
During the cordial discussions, the Parties spoke of the
good relations between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Lesotho, with special
reference to the importance of religious freedom, to favour positive
collaboration between the State and the Church. In this regard, appreciation
was expressed for the commitment of the Sovereign and the Government to
prioritising healthcare and education, and for the significant ecclesial
contribution in the fields of charity, justice and peace.
Finally, mention was made of themes of an ethical and social
nature, such as the family, as well as issues relating to the political and
economic situation in the Region.
