Le concile de Vatican II a amené à Rome pour la première fois un grand nombre de prélats africains qui ont renouvelé l’expression d’une Afrique indépendante et de ses problématiques. À la suite de Vatican II, les missions sont incitées à repenser leur action hors du cadre colonial dans lequel elles avaient jusqu’alors travaillé, alors que les crises et les conflits postcoloniaux produisent un nouvel environnement. Le Vatican favorise aussi l’émergence et le développement d’associations laïques et de personnalités qui, avec inventivité et passion, mettent en place des projets inspirés par une vision ample et renouvelée de la présence du catholicisme dans la « nouvelle Afrique ». Une nouvelle sensibilité voit le jour, et cette tendance a d’importantes répercussions sur le développement de stratégies politiques de la part de la classe dirigeante catholique italienne. |
