The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Cabinda in Angola has presented to the people of God in his Episcopal See the version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) that was translated into Ibinda, a Bantu language widely spoken in Angola’s Cabinda Province.
The new Vice President of the Regional Episcopal Conference of West Africa (RECOWA) has, in an interview with ACI Africa, emphasized the need to align the teaching of the word of God to the daily challenges people face in West Africa.
More than two decades after Pope St. John Paul II approved the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) as the official teachings of the Church, Angola’s Church leaders have implemented the translation of the document into Umbundu, the country’s second most spoken language after Portuguese. In Kenya’s Maralal Diocese, the natives can read the New Testament in Samburu language.
