African Archbishop: "My Father Was a Polygamist"
Some women who oppose polygamy are ostracised and rejected by their communities.
A polygamous man who converts to the Church must end conjugal relations with all women except his first wife. However, he should continue to provide for all his children while breaking the personal relationship with his concubine(s).
Archbishop Makumba says that his own father was a polygamist with one wife and a concubine added later. The archbishop was born to his father's legitimate wife, who was a Catholic, while the concubine was a Protestant. The wife brought up their children in the Catholic faith.
His own childhood could have been better, Monsignor Makumba recalls.
