The Vatican will issue a new document on marriage later this month, addressing the question of polygamy in Africa amid continuing pastoral and cultural debate.
The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith announced that the text, titled We Two: In Praise of Monogamy. Doctrinal Note on the Value of Marriage, Exclusive Communion, and Mutual Belonging, will be released at the end of November.
Father Armando Matteo, the dicastery’s secretary, said on Tuesday that the document follows a specific request made during the Synod on Synodality for African bishops to prepare a statement on the matter. A press conference will take place at the Holy See Press Office when the note is unveiled.
