Ethiopian “Bishops” Surrender Christ’s Kingship to Secular Failures
[The “Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Ethiopia” (CBCE) issued a statement on November 4, 2025, condemning attacks against St. Mary’s Catholic Church in West Harerghe and other religious communities in Oromia. The statement, reported by ACI Africa and CNA, laments the loss of life and destruction of property while appealing to the Ethiopian government for protection. It expresses solidarity with the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the Ethiopian Islamic Affairs Supreme Council, offering condolences without distinction between the One True Church and false religions. The “bishops” make no reference to the Social Kingship of Christ, the duty of civil authorities to profess the Catholic Faith, or the Church’s exclusive right to govern her affairs without state interference.]
