RIP Bp Osório Afonso, IMC. The Church in Mozambique faces hardship
As terrorist attacks make martyrs in Cape Delgado, the Bishop of Quelimane, dom Osório Afonso, was found dead in the hallways of the Episcopal Palace, shot in the chest by multiple AKM rounds, this saturday morning.
By all accounts, His Excellency was a beloved pastor, and a loving and caring man. His homiletics show always a defence of mercy and compassion in face of violence and despair.
Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine
