We didn\u2019t come to do what is in our interest, what we want; we came to serve God, to serve His Church,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an illusion to always count on applause, and it\u2019s not a matter of choice,\u201d he added, saying that \u201csuffering adversity\u201d was a part of \u201cChristian identity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ant\u00f3nio Juliasse was speaking during a ceremony in the provincial capital confirming him as the head of the Catholic church in the province, a position he has in practice held since February, 2021, first as apostolic administrator and, since April, as bishop of the diocese.<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Juliasse told his listeners that he did not have a magic wand to solve all the problems of the province, which is facing a serious humanitarian crisis, but rather that, with everyone\u2019s input, it was possible to lift up the diocese.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00e1cio Saure, Archbishop of Nampula, who on Saturday formally confirmed Ant\u00f3nio Juliasse in his leadership role, recalled the difficult days that many \u201cchurch pastors\u201d in Pemba endured for relating the drama of armed violence.<\/p>\n<p>Such was the case of the Brazilian Luiz Fernando Lisboa, a former bishop, who was present at the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Up until 2021, he was one of the voices most active in denouncing the humanitarian crisis experienced in northern Mozambique due to attacks by armed rebels in that region rich in natural gas.<\/p>\n<p>Now he believes that his successor will give \u201ccontinuity\u201d to the church\u2019s work in support of the province\u2019s inhabitants.<\/p>\n<p>Cabo Delgado Secretary of State Ant\u00f3nio Supeia also asked Ant\u00f3nio Juliasse\u2019s help in mobilising \u201cassistance for displaced families\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Cabo Delgado province, in northern Mozambique, is rich in natural gas, but has been terrorized since 2017 by armed rebels, with some attacks claimed by the Islamic State extremist group.<\/p>\n<p>According to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), about 784,000 persons have been internally displaced by the conflict, which has killed about 4,000, according to the ACLED conflict registry project.<\/p>\n<p>Since July 2021, an offensive by government troops, with the support of Rwandan and later Southern African Development Community (SADC) troops, has recovered a number of areas from rebel control, but their flight has led to new attacks in districts through which they have passed or taken up temporary refuge.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/Caritapemba\/posts\/534813641506040\"><b>Facebook Post click here<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
