One of Africa’s largest nations is experiencing a dramatic political shake-up – and the Church appears to be delighted.
Catholic leaders in Angola have signalled that they stand fully behind the country’s president, João Lourenço, and the reforms he has launched since taking up office in September 2017.
Speaking to Ecclesia, the news agency of the Portuguese bishops’ conference, Bishop José Manuel Imbamba praised the new government. “We fully embrace the reforms being conducted, we encourage them to continue”, said the vice-president of the bishops’ conference.
