DR Congo’s Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo: Saying it Straight.

“Aggressors and multinationals have joined forces to lay their hands on the Congo’s riches, to the detriment of and in contempt for the dignity of peaceful Congolese citizens, created in the image and likeness of God. How far would this contempt go? How far would the trivialization of human life, however sacred, go?” the Congolese Cardinal said during the Holy Mass he presided over at Our Lady of Congo Cathedral of his Metropolitan See. 

The Catholic Church leader said he is “convinced that bringing peace back to the DR Congo also means putting an end to the violation of our country’s territorial integrity and the shameless predation of its natural resources.”
