Tribal Leader Issues Polygamy in Cathedral - Leo XIV Remains Silent But Catholics React

On April 16, during the visit of Pope Leo XIV to Bamenda, Cameroon, Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV, the tribal leader of the Mankon community, spoke about polygamy. He made the remarks during an interreligious peace meeting in the cathedral.
He is the hereditary "king" of the Mankon people and rules over culture and spiritual tradition. He presides over pagan rites, such as important funerals and ancestral ceremonies. During these events, he wears ceremonial attire alongside elders. He also identifies as 'Catholic'.
In his speech at the cathedral, the tribal leader stated that 'some cultural practices continue to pose challenges' and cited polygamy as an example.
He expressed gratitude that, within the framework of the 2023 and 2024 Synod, African bishops had been tasked with conducting a study on polygamy and its place in the life of the Church.
The tribal chief went on to say that adulterers in polygamous relationships should be able to fully integrate into the Church without being 'judged …More

Mark Twain in a debate with a Mormon pointed out that the Bible forbids polygamy: "No man can serve two masters."

Seems like Catholics are no better than Leo. Not one defended Our Lord from another Blasphemy from trump. But I watched how quickly they all came out of the wood work when he and Leo got into it. Well, you chose your god. Be prepared for the consequences. No less defending an evil prot who lead an evil life. Child abuser! One Pope called an inquisition because of protestantism. Another said, they are the worst heretics, before, now and to come. How many sins did they commit? They will find out when the time comes.

Prevost refused to defend Catholic moral doctrine against the advocate of polygamy, the pagan apostate Fon Fru Asaah Angwafor IV.
Prevost said nothing against this frontal assault on faith, but he did use his speech to launch a political weapon:
“ Jesus told us: Blessed are the peacemakers! But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”

Still, as Skaespeare tells us, "give the devil his due." The Pope was clearly attempting to dampen things down, which was a wise move. Perhaps President Trump will respond in kind, and both men can get back to doing their primary jobs.

So now it’s charitable for a Catholic prelate to dampen things down? What a laugh! Sounds like something Satan would say.

@Ari B Perhaps you misunderstood my comment—or maybe you didn’t. Regardless, I was saying the Pope appeared to be backing off the tit-for-tat critical exchanges between Trump and The Vatican. And yes, that would be a charitable act and a good thing for both the Church and this country.

He is as "Catholic" as Prevost. Pachamama loves them both
