three chapters. The first chapter deals with the formation of the seventy-seven
missions in Lesotho, and the establishment of the four dioceses of Lesotho the

and those formed after appear in the appendix.
The second chapter deals with the socio-political involvement of the Catholic Church

authority. In this part four bishops are taken to illustrate this point, and this covers the
period from 1930 to 1966. In short this deals with the internal affairs of the Church,
and its finances. And we go on to deal with the involvement of the Church in the
party politics which led to independence of the country.
