During a recent visit to the Vatican, Nigeria’s bishops spoke to the Holy Father about the situation facing the Church in Nigeria.
More than 70 bishops were present in the Eternal City for their ad limina pilgrimage, a mandatory meeting with the Holy Father for diocesan bishops held approximately every five years.
Archbishop Matthew Ndagoso, Archbishop of Kaduna, told EWTN: “Before we came to Rome, we bishops sent reports on our dioceses to the Vatican, and the summary was given to the Holy Father.” He continued: “But beyond what was written, we discussed with him the violence, the insurgencies, and the difficulties we face as apostles on the ground.”
