The Pope was given a brief musical performance and then greeted with a speech from Manoel de Oliveria, a renowned Portuguese filmmaker who is still working at the impressive age of 101 years old. Oliveira recognized that the culture of Portugal is deeply impacted by its Christian heritage, but that the modern day doubts and disbelief of the Gospel have affected Portugal's Christian culture. The Pope began his speech to the cultural representatives present by expressing his respect and appreciation for their work.  He thanked Mr. Oliveira for his kind words and for sharing his thoughts on the concerns present in Portuguese society today. He then went on to speak about today's culture.  The Pope said that the Church's primary mission in contemporary culture is to keep alive the search for truth and, consequently, for God and to lead people to seek the ultimate things that give life meaning.
