Pope Francis will install the first cardinal of Brazil's Amazon region this month in a sign of his concern for the rainforest and its indigenous inhabitants, the man whom he picked for the role said.
Dom Leonardo Steiner, archbishop of the Brazilian city of Manaus, said in an interview that Francis, the first pope from Latin America, is worried about deforestation, threats to indigenous cultures and pollution of rivers with mercury used by gold miners in the Amazon.
Steiner said indigenous communities complain that the evangelical missionaries often undermine traditional rituals, songs and even their languages. The Catholic Church was guilty of this in the past but now defends the preservation of indigenous cultures, he said.
