Vatican
City, 7 November 2013 (VIS) – On Wednesday 6 November in the seat
of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Yamena, the capital of Chad, an
agreement was signed between the Holy See and the Republic of Chad
regarding the legal status of the Catholic Church in Chad.
It
was signed on behalf of the Holy See by Archbishop Jude Thaddeus
Okolo, apostolic nuncio in Chad, and for the Republic of Chad by
Moussa Faki Mahamat, minister of Foreign Affairs and African
Integration.
The
agreement, which consists of eighteen articles, will enter into force
upon exchange of the instruments of ratification; it recognises the
legal personality of the Catholic Church and the ecclesiastical
institutions and, establishing a legal framework for the relations
between the Church and the State, affirms the social value of their
collaboration for the promotion of the dignity of the human person in
order to build a more just and peaceful society.
