Monsignor Aurelio Gazzera, coadjutor bishop-elect of the Diocese of Bangassou in the Central African Republic (CAR), has promised to promote dialogue with various rebel groups operating in the country, noting that he seeks to be a “symbol of peace” in his leadership.
In a Monday, March 4, report by the Catholic pontifical and charity foundation Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) International, Gazzera, who was appointed bishop on Feb. 23, said CAR remains “very difficult and unstable” as the situation is still “precarious in large parts of the country.”
“I will try to listen to everyone and, with my limited powers, to be a symbol of peace,” Gazzera said.
