Kenyan Bishops’ State of the Nation: A Modernist Manifesto of Naturalistic Humanism
The VaticanNews portal reports that the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB), under the chairmanship of Archbishop Maurice Muhatia Makumba, issued a “State of the Nation” statement on June 23, 2026, calling for “renewed commitment to the dignity of human life, justice, and national dialogue.” The statement laments loss of life through demonstrations, abductions, and traffic accidents, urging all sectors to “safeguard human dignity.” The bishops also announced Kenya will host the 21st AMECEA Plenary Assembly under the theme “Synodal Journey with Young People,” addressed school violence, condemned disruption of a meeting at All Saints Cathedral, and concluded by entrusting the nation to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This document is not a pastoral guide rooted in Catholic doctrine, but a modernist manifesto of naturalistic humanism, completely silent on the supernatural destiny of man, the necessity of sanctifying grace, the social reign of Christ the King, and the only true source of justice and peace: the conversion of souls to the Catholic Faith.
