Resumo(s)
As relações diplomáticas entre Portugal e a Santa Sé durante os anos 60, foram marcadas por vários acontecimentos. O prolongado exílio de D. António Ferreira Gomes, o Segundo Concílio do Vaticano e a vinda do Papa Paulo VI a Fátima são alguns exemplos com maiores repercussões. Ainda assim, parte substancial da documentação presente no Arquivo Histórico Diplomático sobre estas relações mostra que a questão ultramarina era um tópico que absorvia grande parte da atenção na relação entre os dois estados. É nesse contexto que, discretamente, mas com alguma insistência, se vai colocar a questão da nomeação de bispos negros para dioceses portuguesas nos territórios ultramarinos. Desde o período conciliar, a Santa Sé vai pressionar o governo português a aceitar a nomeação de bispos autóctones. O governo resistirá, considerando que tal significaria a criação de indesejadas lideranças locais, para mais em tempo de guerra. Esta nota de investigação pretende mostrar a argumentação de parte a parte durante quase uma década que acabou com a nomeação de um bispo-auxiliar negro para a diocese de Luanda.

It is in this context that, discreetly but with some insistence, the question of appointing black bishops to Portuguese dioceses in Ultramar territories will be raised. Since the conciliar period, the Holy See has pressured the Portuguese government to accept the appointment of indigenous bishops. The government resisted, considering that this would mean the creation of unwanted local leadership, especially in times of war. This research note aims to show the arguments made by both parties for almost a decade that ended with the appointment of a black auxiliary bishop for the diocese of Luanda.
