dc.description.abstractThe topic: 'Polygamy and the African Church is a difficult one to write on when one wishes to remain faithful to the traditional Catholic teaching on the subject. In the earliest times of Christianity, if one wished to become a Christian. circumcision was necessary. Circumcision belonged to the Jewish culture. To be a Christian meant to be Jewish first. Christianity was confused with Jewish culture. Today, if a polygamist wishes to be a Christian, monogamy is described as a necessary condition. Is this not a confusion of cultures with Christianity? Can't a Gentile become a Christian without becoming a Jew first? Can't a polygamist be baptized with full responsibilities for all his wives? Catholicism (Christianity in general) has always considered polygamy as an evil offence and any desire to examine the issue is seen as an influence of the devil. In this work we have concentrated on the foundation of marriage in scripture. We are patient and we know that it takes time for traditions to die and when they die, they die slowly.en_US
