(Titular Archbishop of Potenza Picena, Zambia)
I am speaking in my own name, and I wish to refer to Part II of the Instrumentum Laboris, particularly to nos. 27 and 30, concerning the Agents of Proclamation. Apart from the diocesan and religious priests, there is now a growing number of "Fidei donum" priests, who are being sent by the Bishops from outside Africa to work, most temporarily, in the African dioceses. Since my resignation nearly 25 years ago, although I am religious, I am mostly working among them, even under them. I think that much more thought ought to be given to them. First of all clearer instructions should be given to the sending Bishops concerning the selection, formation and preparation for mission work of the priests they wish to send to the missions. After all, they are incardinated in their dioceses, and they are responsible for them. Secondly, clearer instruction should be given to the accepting Bishops concerning their rights and also responsibilities for the conditions of life and work of the priests confided to them.
