This page dedicated to the memory of Cardinal Lavigerie recalls how his mission of evangelization was linked to European and more particularly French colonial expansion in Africa. He claimed to support civilization and the fight against slavery. This has made it possible to redeem children whose White Fathers have made Christians, catechists, rifle-bearing ascaris. They succeeded in eradicating all traditional culture in the name of the fight against paganism. We saw in Rwanda in 1994 what the result was.
