I am surprised that Ndola Archdiocese Archbishop Benjamin Phiri today allowed a politician to use the pulpit for partisan interests or political agenda, less than a month after the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB), to which Archbishop Phiri is a core member, wrote in the Pastoral Letter that no politician should be allowed to use the pulpit.
In addition to defying a collective position, Archbishop Phiri has allowed Hichilema to create a template whereby if the UPND presidential candidate is stopped from addressing the faithful using the pulpit in another parish, he will cry hatred. The @Pontifex and
@VaticanNews should take interest in the conduct of Archbishop Phiri. It undermines the standing of the ZCCB and the Catholic Church in general.
If individual leaders of the various opposition parties went to the Cathedral in Ndola to pray and request to be presented to the congregation like it was done today, will Archbishop Phiri allow this since the Catholic Church is known for its impartiality, fairness and consistency? Archbishop Phiri may be compromised or sympathetic to Hichilema but he should have respected the position that was stated by the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops.

You appear to be quite bored, Sushuwa. Please refrain from smoking ganja, as it is not beneficial for you. You now resemble an individual who has never received an education. It would be advisable for you to consult a psychiatrist for assistance. The speed at which you are losing your sanity is quite concerning. Your educational background is leading you astray; others perceive you as lacking intelligence.
There is nothing one can do, how can he deny the Republican President from attending Church Service?
Remember recently there has unfounded political pull and push Catholic Church and government the Bishop would have been endorsing this negative narrative if he acted negatively.
It was good that he chose to give the Republican President a befitting welcome especially in this 2026 sensitive period. Definitely, the church should be open and welcoming.
ArchBishop Benjamin Phiri is a compromised Shepherd..As Catholics we know him in and out.
There was a time the Police sealed some Churches in Ndola, even searching for Edgar Lungu in Ladies Handbags. What did our Bishops do? Absolutely nothing.
Instead he started condemning the person that the police were searching for in Ladies Handbags… Catholic women being Subjected to such treatment, and the Bishop was not there to defend them.
In Luanshya at the opening of the new Immaculate conception church, he was there condemning his Priests in front of congregants..same in Fisenge at the opening of a new Church.
This man is Compromised. A sell out to the Body of Christ just like some Bishops… for Monze and Mongu, who have equally thrown away what the Catholic Church has been all along, just because a Tribesmaid is now President of Zambia.
Which BISHOP in the Catholic Church can allow someone, foreign , not annointed, to be walking around on the Altar? That is desecration of the Altar of God.
It doesn’t happen..But not with Bishop Benjamin Phiri.
ArchBishop Benjamin Phiri has completely thrown to the wind the Catholic teachings, Our treasured Sacraments.. and for what? For a Politician who has even been victimising the Church… calling the Universal Church Lucifers.
The ZCCB, of which BISHOP Phiri is a member, makes rules in the Pastoral Letter … not to allow the desecration of the Altar by Politicians, or donations during this time close to the Elections. Bishop Phiri is the first to break those Rules.
If this Bishop is not careful, he will lose all the Respect.
HH is not an enemy of the Catholic Church which you haters are trying to use in your efforts to fight and remove the legitimate and democratically elected government of HH. The Catholic Church in general equally is not an enemy of HH and his government. It just depends on how one interprets the events for him to see Archbishop Phiri as having been compromised. For example: one Priest allows in his Parish the CSO like Oasis Forum and a group of Opposition leaders, the other Priest allows in his Parish the President and his delegation. The other Priest prays with and for the CSO and the group then refuses to go with them to State House to meet the President. On the other hand, the other Priest accepts to meet the President and his delegation at his Church, worships with the President consolidating the friendship. So in your opinion, which one of the two is compromised here? You are now trying to blame Archbishop Phiri because he has done what you didn’t expect him to do. The two leaders have disappointed you haters because they have shown that love and unity outweighs hatred and division. The President has always emphasized that we have a lot to unite us as Zambians than what to divide us. The same people who are blaming Archbishop Phiri could have been quiet if a CSO or an Opposition leader we’re the ones who had visited the Chifubu Parish, actually they would have been very happy about it. The way they were happy last time when they heard that HH has been stoned in Chingola. Instead of condemning violence and hooliganism, some were busy celebrating. But you saw yesterday that the people Copperbelt especially students dearly love HH and had endorsed him for August elections. If there is any complaint about what Archbishop Phiri did, let it come from the ZCCB and not from Sishua Sishua.
Sishuwa is only fit to be the publicity secretary in Ichabaice party, since he lacks maturity just like the Ichabaice leader.
You can see for yourselves the signs, that Sishua is psychopath but he does not know this himself.
How I wish Dr. Sishuwa would be equally objective in the way he views the case of the ZRA Toyota Hilux and Archbishop Alick Banda. On one hand he is saying Archbishop Phiri has been compromised by President Hichilema whereas he framed Archbishop Banda’s case as one of political persecution.
This is why I find it difficult to understand Dr. Sishuwa’s stance except to look at it as a case extreme dislike for HH for whatever reason. In both cases, he sees HH as the villain. If we have to be objective, Archbishop Alick Banda was compromised both from a legal and biblical point of view (1Tim. 3:2, “Now the overseer is to be above reproach”). Dr. Sishuwa is quick to go for Archbishop Phiri whereas he was all gu s blazing defending Archbishop Banda.
Dr. Sishuwa doesnot make sense anymore.
Meant ” all guns blazing”.
Compromised for what, shushua? What is the game
