Therefore, during the synod discussion, we discussed the ten-year pastoral planning process of the Ethiopian Catholic Church, which is believed to address the concerns of Catholics from all over Ethiopia. According to the canon law of the church and the law of the country, the church can own and manage property faithfully and responsibly. We would like to state that it will be hosted by the Ethiopian Catholic Church expecting the presence of Cardinals, Bishops, priests and religious men and women, laity, youth and children from the Holy See, the Ethiopian Catholic Church and all African Bishops' Conferences. Finally, we do understand that the ongoing and especially recent religious provocative issues in our country, Ethiopia, is deeply saddening and displeasing to God.
