The President of the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM) has outlined “a four-phase plan” that he said Catholic Bishops in Africa have agreed upon to address the challenge of polygamy on the continent.
In his Wednesday, October 2 presentation at the ongoing Synod on Synodality in Rome, Fridolin Cardinal Ambongo said that a team of experts will spearhead discussions and the formulation of a document on pastoral response to polygamy to be examined for approval during the July 2025 SECAM Plenary Assembly.
Delegates at the 4-29 October 2023 session of the Synod on Synodality encouraged Catholic Bishops in Africa “to promote theological and pastoral discernment on the issue of polygamy”.
