What is the relationship between the Catholic University of Angola and the Catholic Church?
The Cardinal of Angola, Dom Alexandre do Nascimento, was the driving force behind the Catholic University of Angola. He believes that an open and modern university run by Angolans and for Angolans, is one of the most important cornerstones in building a strong and self-sufficient nation. While Cardinal do Nascimento, Bishop Franklin and other members of the clergy have been instrumental in seeing through this project, the university does not receive funding from the Catholic Church, nor will the curriculum contain specific religious orientation. Although the university will be inspired by Christian moral values, religious affiliation has no bearing on admissions.
