Pope Benedict XVI met with the delegation of Dominican bishops that have been at the Vatican this week and congratulated the bishops on the social work they have done, in association with the Haitian church, to help alleviate the situation in that neighboring nation. The Pope expressed his satisfaction that contacts between the Catholic Church in the DR and Haiti to try to alleviate the situation of poverty and misery that offends the dignity of so many people in Haiti.
During the "ad limina" visit, which obliges all bishops to meet with the Pope every 5 years, Pope Benedict XVI commended Dominicans for supporting those Dominicans who live abroad and urged Dominicans to help Haitian migrants who leave their land looking for better opportunities.
During their meeting the Pope urged Dominican authorities to work in favor of the institution of the family, at a time when it is threatened by the drama of divorce and the fight to legalize abortions.
