An African Vision for the Catholic Church
from Part IV - Beyond Europe and North America
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 September 2020
This chapter details the seminal influence of Senegalese Catholic intellectual Alioune Diop on the Catholic Church between the 1940s and 1970s. A leading figure in the negritude movement who championed independence for Europe’s African colonies, Diop was also a devout Catholic who called on the Church to repudiate Eurocentrism and live up to its claims to be universal and embrace all peoples. He insisted that the Church had an important role to play in defending vulnerable peoples and promoting development in the “Third World.” Diop’s advocacy had a great impact during the papacies of John XXIII and Paul VI and contributed to the reorientation of the Catholic Church during and after the Second Vatican Council.
