	The Catholic Church In Africa - phatmass phorum
		The Vatican II Council (1959-1965) revolutionized the Catholic Church, and in theory, was to dramatically alter the operation of Catholic missions throughout the world.
		They said that all the “rich” Catholic Church had to do at first was present their ominous cathedrals, beautiful artwork and statues to attract people.
		Perhaps the Church was able to spread so well due to its financial power, but that does not mean that it does not use indigenous culture as well or that this wealth is not used with proper intentions.

		John Thornton, "The Development of an African Catholic Church in the Kingdom of Kongo - 1491-1750"), by the end of the 19th century, the form of Christianity that had developed in Kongo had so radically changed that the new missionaries were not able to recognize it as Christianity.
		Moreover, the Church is indeed becoming indigenous, with bishops and priests of the land, and therefore it is no longer considered strange to become a priest or to enter into religious life for men of women.
		The most challenging aspect of the mission of the Church in Africa is found in the area of serving society and in its contribution to integral human development (Ecclesia in Africa, 68-69).

		Although Cameroon is rich in natural and human resources, corruption and mismanagement have lead to an inequitable distribution of the country's wealth and to an absence of real peace.
		With this in mind, CRS and the Catholic Church are working to promote good governance and to address social justice issues such as corruption, civil society, foreign debt and HIV/AIDS.
		For example, CRS collaborates with a consortium of Catholic Church institutions, called Nkeng Shalom, or A Call to Peace, to publish and distribute materials aimed at raising awareness of corruption and the proper use of public resources.

	Africa's Churches Wake To Oil's Problems and Possibilities \| Catholic Relief Services
		From Catholic Church leaders protesting the hanging of Nigerian Ogoni activist Ken Saro-Wiwa to church leaders in Sudan calling for the immediate halt in oil exploitation in that war-torn country, African church leaders are waking up to the problems and potentials of oil exploitation.
		US churches can get involved in advocacy to help ensure that aggressive oil exploitation does not come at the expense of human rights, the environment, and the human dignity of the poor who live amidst such massive wealth.
		Churches, with their institutional strength, credibility, transnational networks, moral authority, influence on international opinion and access to policy makers in Africa and the North, are well-suited to play key roles in the struggle to make governments, international financial institutions and corporations more transparent and accountable in managing and exploiting oil resources.
