Looking for fresh info on the Catholic Church across the continent? You’re in the right spot. CDIC brings you short, clear updates on bishops, pilgrimages, social projects and more. No jargon, just what matters to everyday readers.
Every week there’s a new synod, a bishop’s visit or a charity launch. For example, the recent meeting in Nairobi brought together leaders from 12 countries to discuss youth outreach. The outcome? A pledge to fund school programs in rural Kenya and Uganda. We break down those pledges so you can see where the money is going.
Another big story was the announcement of a new cathedral in Lagos. Construction starts next month, and locals are already talking about how it will boost tourism and provide space for community events. Our coverage includes timelines, cost estimates and quotes from project managers.
The Catholic Church does more than hold services. In South Africa, churches have set up food banks that serve over 5,000 families each month. We share the numbers, the volunteers’ stories and how you can help if you live nearby.
In Ethiopia, a network of parish nurses is tackling malaria with free testing camps. The latest reports show a drop in cases around the participating villages. Our articles explain what’s working, the challenges faced, and how other regions might copy the model.
If you’re curious about the Pope’s messages, we translate key points into plain English and link them to local actions. When the Vatican talks about climate change, African dioceses often launch tree‑planting drives. We list upcoming events so you can join in.
Our tag page also curates opinion pieces from scholars and clergy. They discuss topics like interfaith dialogue, education reforms and digital evangelism. Each piece is summarized so you get the main takeaways without reading a full essay.
Want to follow a specific country or city? Use the filters on our site to narrow down stories about the Catholic Church in Nigeria, Tanzania, Ghana and more. The tag page updates automatically as new articles are published.
Finally, we keep an eye on controversies and how they’re resolved. When a bishop faces allegations, we report the facts, the church’s response and any legal steps. Transparency matters, and our goal is to give you a balanced view.
