The Archbishop of Juba, Dr. Stephen Ameyu Mula, and his Bishop Stephen Nyodo of Malakal have arrived back in Juba after visiting Rome for an induction course.
Eighty bishops across the world gathered in Rome for a course of new bishops consecrated from 2018 to 2020 for orientation on how to conduct themselves as Bishops.
According to the Catholic leader, the course was meant to orient new bishops on how to work as heads of the Church in different dioceses and how to conduct their lives in front of the public as administrators of the church.
Archbishop Ameyu said courses included the reformation of Roman Hurria and the dicastery of evaluation of the people in the mission land.
They were instructed on various teaching of the church especially canon law as a new way to explain doctrines to the current generation of the 3rd millennium.
“The fortnight we as bishops stayed together was so enriching time, it has never reached many bishops because it seems that the church is taking some steps to reform the theology or the way the moral scriptures was interpreted.” the archbishop explained.
He revealed that The Holy Father, Pope Francis confirmed his interest to visit South Sudan in February although it’s not official as communicated by Monsignor Paul during a visit to the 1st Vice president of South Sudan early this month.
The archbishop in testaments condemned the fighting among civilians in Malakal.
He urges people to embark on forgiveness and refrain from senseless killing when the country is fighting other natural calamities like flooding, snake bites, and hunger among others.
“It’s very unfortunate that again the people of Malakal are fighting among themselves when we are fighting natural calamities that are destroying and killing many of us for example, folding and snake bites, hunger, and many others why turning guns against us,” Ameyu stressed.
