Seminarians in Africa are being warned against embracing the misleading ideology of revisionism and succumbing to a world bedevilled by materialism.

The warnings were made at the Uganda Martyrs National Major Seminary, during its seventh session of the ongoing “Synodal Conversations” that are part of Pope Francis’s long-running Synod of Bishops on synodality.

The pronouncements also come at a time when Africa's seminaries are increasingly producing the priests that are taking up the pastoral slack across much of the Western world following the decline in vocations happening in so many developed countries (though there are indications that trend may be shifting in country's such as France).
