The National Episcopal Conference of Congo (CENCO) has begun a three-day extraordinary plenary assembly to address proposed changes to the Congolese constitution. The meeting, a roundtable discussion from June 18-20, aims to establish a unified position within the Catholic Church regarding the potential constitutional revisions. On the first day of the assembly, CENCO members heard arguments from proponents and opponents of the changes. The discussions center around a sensitive and potentially divisive issue within the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Catholic Church seeks to formulate a cohesive stance before further developments occur. The outcome of this meeting could significantly influence the national debate surrounding the constitution. This gathering highlights the Church’s role as a key stakeholder in the DRC’s political landscape.
