Vatican Portal Promotes Naturalistic “Peace” Through Secular Sports Event
Vatican News portal (December 21, 2025) reports on the fifth edition of the Zanzibar Cup kitesurfing competition, scheduled for February 7, 2026. The article highlights founder Dr. Stefano Conte’s vision of using sport to promote “peace, brotherhood, and coexistence” among participants of diverse nationalities and religions. The event receives institutional support from Zanzibari authorities and media partnership with Azam TV, with ambitions for European broadcast distribution. Vatican News presents this as a model of “shared human values” and “counterpoint to violence,” omitting any reference to Catholic doctrine or the social reign of Christ the King.
