YAOUNDÈ, Cameroon – As a deadly conflict continues to rage in Sudan, Catholic bishops both inside the country and in neighbouring South Sudan have used their Christmas message this year to praise the clergy and men and women religious for continuing to serve despite the risks.
“To you, our dear clergy and religious men and women, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude for your courage and resilience,” they said.
“When the war broke out, you and your bishops got scattered all over the country and even across the border. It deprived you of the use of churches and centres of worship… made you lose essential properties and commodities for sustenance,” the bishops of the two countries said in a collective statement.
