Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo
Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo is the Archbishop of Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Ambongo has publicly opposed Pope Francis' more inclusive policies, such as the blessing of same-sex couples, stating that in Africa, there is no acceptance for such practices. His position reflects the tensions between different cultural perspectives within the global Catholic Church, particularly as it seeks to broaden its appeal in regions where conservative values prevail.
