The pastoral letters and articles on Catholicism and African traditional beliefs come at a time when many Catholics find themselves at the crossroads between their traditional practices and their Christian faith.
Pastoral Letters on Mary and Matters Ancestral
Archbishop Buti Thlagale OMI of the Archdiocese of Johannesburg has produced a compilation of his homilies and pastoral letters on Mary, as well as issues of African traditional beliefs in the context of Catholicism.
The book, “Pastoral Letters on Mary and Matters Ancestral” was compiled by the Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Johannesburg, Fr Jean-Marie Kuzituka Did’ho, and forms part of the Mother of Mercy Marian Shrine project.
The homilies on Mary were delivered with the intention of promoting the veneration of Mary, Mother of the Redeemer, and to gather support for the project of building a Marian Shrine in the Archdiocese, the “Mary, Mother of Mercy” Shrine in the Magaliesberg.
