John Paul 赋予非洲天主教会诸多权利工具（他任命了很多非洲主教），使非洲天主教会在凡蒂冈变得更为重要。
This is what I understand about the sentence. I am sure you can come up with a more smooth Chinese translation.

凡蒂冈对非洲教会更有向心力， 凝聚力。
用非洲教会作主语我就不会说了。 即各国教会不再像过去那样各自为政。 I'm thinking about centralized and de-centralized.

为了让教庭和非洲的各教会
My understanding is to become central to the Church implies equally accessible from all churches.

让他们能够变得更central to the church
The name that keeps cropping up as a candidate, is that of Cardinal Francis Arinze on Nigeria - a priest remembered for turning mission schools into shelters for starving refugees.
While John Paul did not increase the overall number of African cardinals from his immediate predecessors - there are 11 now compared to 12 before John Paul was crowned - he has greatly boosted their profile, by calling several to the Vatican. Arinze, for example, was entrusted with mediating interfaith relations - one of John Paul’s favorite projects.
"John Paul strengthened Africa’s role in the church," said Mario Aguilar, dean of divinity at the University of St. Andrews "John Paul gave the tools to the African churches to become more central to the church."
=> John Paul gave the tools to the African churches to become more central to the church = John Paul gave the tools to the African churches (to enable them) to become more central to the church
Aguilar said that by giving Africans a greater Vatican role, John Paul "did increase the chances of seeing an African pope."
