Molegbe, 01 August, 2023 / 9:00 pm (ACI Africa).
Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Bishop Dominique Bulamatari who has been at the helm of Molegbe Diocese in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
The resignation of the 68-year-old Catholic Church leader who has been Bishop of the Congolese Diocese since November 2009 was made public on Tuesday, August 1, and published by the Holy See Press Office.
Catholic Bishops are expected to submit their respective letters of retirement at the age of 75. Compelling reasons such as “ill-health or other grave problems” also justify the submission of such a letter of resignation.
The reasons for the resignation of Bishop Bulamatari who succeeded Bishop Ignace Matondo Kwa Nzambi have not been made public.
Born in June 1955 in the Archdiocese of Kinshasa, the Bishop was ordained a Priest of the same Archdiocese in April 1980 after completing his philosophical and theological studies.
