Cairo (Agenzia Fides) - Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al Sisi confirmed by decree the establishment of the council for the administration of the foundations of the Catholic Church in Egypt. The presidential decree of February 27th published in the Official Journal as provision 80/2021. A similar presidential decree also set up the Board of Directors for the foundations of the Evangelical Christian community in Egypt. The two bodies were oficially launched with Law 190 of 2020.

The new presidential decree stipulates that the Coptic Catholic Patriarch Ibrahim Isaac Sidrak will head the body's Board of Directors, for a period of 4 years. In addition to the Patriarch, the council has eleven members, including bishops, priests, laypeople who represent the Catholic communities present on Egyptian territory.

The presidential decree completes the process, which began in 2019, of setting up a government commission charged with drafting a law for the administration of assets of the Catholic Church and the Evangelical Churches present in Egypt. In 2019, the Catholic Church and the evangelical denominations had sent to the competent government bodies the request for the establishment of bodies responsible for the control and good management of their properties and real estate on the model of that controlling and administering the property of the Coptic Orthodox Church and Islamic Communities.

Wonder if Biden’s CIA will force another Muslim Brotherhood coup, er election, in Egypt to please his Iranian handler, Valerie Jarrett

And use the excuse that he is just getting rid of “Trump’s favorite dictator”, as described by CNN American Pravda. Yes, the newsreader did use that term.
