Leo XIV Appoints Madagaskar Bishop Practicing Local Blessing Rite "Mitso-drano"
Pope Leo XIV appointed on October 25 Monsignor Jean-Nicolas Rakotojaona, 52, as Coadjutor Bishop of the Diocese of Fianarantsoa, Madagascar.
He was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Antananarivo on 3 August 2002. Pope Francis appointed him as auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Morondava in 2023.
Theologian trained in Switzerland
Between 2011 and 2017, he completed a doctorate in Theology at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. His thesis is entitled Volonté de 'Fihavanana': Une Comparaison avec l’Observance de la 'Berît' dans le Livre du Deutéronome (Will of 'Fihavanana': A Comparison with the Observance of the 'Berît' in the Book of Deuteronomy).
In it, he treats fihavanana (a Malagasy concept of harmony) as a parallel to the biblical covenant (berît), viewing it as a "way of expressing divine relationships".

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
Another day, another anti-Catholic promoted in the hierarchy. Behold! This is the Synodal Church which tolerates pagan rituals, heretical and adulterous kings but also TLMs in St. Peter's, so everything is A-OK.
Divide and conquer (or is it by now "divided and conquered"?). Just another piece of the Church breaking off from her theology and traditions, that will eventually solidify into its own little sect. No doubt caused joy among the ruling Vatican apostates.
You shall not bow down to their gods nor serve them, nor do as they do, but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their pillars in pieces.
