La Chiesa cattolica in Gabon è parte della Chiesa cattolica universale in comunione con il vescovo di Roma, il papa.

Storia

La Chiesa cattolica in Gabon vede nel missionario francese Jean-Rémi Bessieux della Congregazione dello Spirito Santo il primo suo grande evangelizzatore, nella prima metà del XIX secolo. Nel 1863 nasce il vicariato apostolico del Gabon, allora denominato delle Due Guinee. Solo dopo il 1878 inizia l'evangelizzazione dell'entroterra. Nel 1958 il Gabon diventa provincia ecclesiastica autonoma con sede metropolitana a Libreville; nel 1899 era stato ordinato il primo sacerdote gabonese, e nel 1961 viene ordinato il primo vescovo. Nel 1982 la Chiesa cattolica ha ricevuto la visita pastorale di papa Giovanni Paolo II.

Il 12 dicembre 1997 Santa Sede e repubblica del Gabon hanno firmato un accordo, «sui principi e su alcune disposizioni giuridiche relative alle loro relazioni e alla loro collaborazione».
