"Don't forgetthe poor," the Pope said appealing to all parishes andcommunities in Ugands and in the rest of Africa. During hisvisit to the Nalukolongo's House of Charity, the Pope rejectedthe culture of waste and the culture of "throwaway consumergoods". He said: "Our parishes must not close their doors, ortheir ears, to the cry of the poor. This is the royal road ofChristian discipleship. In this way we bear witness to the Lordwho came not to be served, but to serve. In this way we showthat people count more than things, that who we are is moreimportant than what we possess".. .
