A RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, concluiu que, no projeto “Catitablet”, que é abreviado de “ensino católico (catequese) no tablet”, a iniciativa viu a Bíblia e o Missal serem traduzidos para Tchokwe, Luchazes, Lunda-Ndembo e Luvale línguas. Estas são as línguas faladas predominantemente na parte oriental de Angola.
Falando durante o lançamento do aplicativo em 4 de agosto, o Bispo da diocese de Lwena, Jesús Tirso Blanco, observou que o formato digital dos dois Livros Litúrgicos “servirá como principal ferramenta na pregação do evangelho em diferentes tribos e povos” do região.
“Há uma grande necessidade de evangelistas cristãos terem cada vez mais domínio das línguas nacionais, para que a difusão do Evangelho seja mais abrangente nas comunidades”, foi citado o bispo Blanco, membro dos Salesianos de Dom Bosco (SDB). como dito durante o lançamento em 4 de agosto.
Segundo o bispo argentino, a produção da Bíblia digital e do Missal, um projeto realizado pelos fiéis durante a pandemia do COVID-19, é “evidência de que a diocese está cumprindo seu papel de expandir a palavra de Deus”.
Para a comunidade diocesana, o aplicativo é “uma ferramenta valiosa que surge para complementar o processo de evangelização” na região habitada por diversas etnias, destacaram os Bispos.
Abel Xavier, um fiel da diocese, expressou seu apreço pela equipe do projeto “Catitablet” por seu esforço na digitalização da Bíblia e do Missal, pois “eles ajudarão, acima de tudo, os catequistas na pregação em áreas remotas da província”.
Pertencente à maior província administrativa de Angola, Moxico, a região leste tem uma população estimada em 700.500 habitantes dos grupos étnicos de Tchokwe (que é o maior), Luvale, Bundas, Luchazes, Lunda-Ndembo e Umbundu, entre outras etnias menores.
Em 2019, a liderança da Igreja Católica no país traduziu o “Catecismo da Igreja Católica” para o umbundo, a segunda língua mais falada depois do português.
Angola, que faz fronteira com a República Democrática do Congo (RDC), Namíbia, Congo Brazzaville, Zâmbia e Oceano Atlântico, tem uma população de 17,35 milhões de pessoas. 56,4% da população é católica, espalhada por cinco arquidioceses e 14 dioceses.

These are the languages predominantly spoken in the Eastern part of Angola.
Speaking during the launch of the application August 4, the Bishop of Lwena diocese, Jesús Tirso Blanco noted that the digital format of the two Liturgical Books “will serve as a primary tool in the preaching of the gospel in different tribes and peoples” of the region.

According to the Argentinian-born Bishop, the production of the digital Bible and Missal, a project undertaken by the faithful during the COVID-19 pandemic, is “evidence that the Diocese is fulfilling its role in expanding the word of God.”
To the Diocesan community, the application is “a valuable tool that appears to complement the process of evangelization” in the region inhabited by diverse ethnic groups, the Bishops said.

Falling under Angola’s largest administrative Province of Mexico, the Eastern region has an estimated population of 700,500 inhabitants of the ethnic groups of Tchokwe (which is the largest), Luvale, Bundas, Luchazes, Lunda-Ndembo, and Umbundu, among other smaller ethnicities.
