  1. These lazy preachers who think complaining is the answer are a bunch of useless political characters hiding behind the veil of religion!
    If they can’t stick to their lane, they should be made to face consequences!
    Fish them out and warn them that inciting the masses to rise against authority will not go unpunished!
    Inciting an insurrection is an offense!
    No one should be allowed to disturb our peace! People must learn to work smart!
    The current generation of Zambians is very weak and spoiled where they expect government to do everything for them!
    They have not seen real mavuto!
    Some don’t even know how to hold a hoe and expect life to be easy?
    Diligent hands bring wealth (Proverbs). These are things they used to teach us in church. The Tragedy today is that ubuwelewele has become the norm!
    How can Society grow?

  2. Throw the Queer/Homo in the cells.
    It’s a travesty really.
    Christianity and indeed catholicism are foreign deities please Mr priest shift to Rome

  3.

  4. Some members of the Catholic clergy think that only they have a difficult job and that those in government have it easier. Catholic priests have been known to seek political office before such as Archbishop Makarios in Cyprus in the 1970s and Fr Bertrand Aristide in troubled Haiti in more recent times. There was nothing special about the way they governed. The same old human limitations were on display despite the overwhelming support of the mighty Catholic Church. As for Fr Andrew Chewe Mukosa, you judge a government by the way it spends money it collects in taxes. The UPND government is spending the money in ways that are impacting on people’s lives. For example, maternity care in all health facilities has been recognised as a serious omission during construction of these centres. The UPND government has said no more. It is building maternity wings where these were left out and no new health facility is being erected without maternity services.

    • Are you saying politics is evil? Politics is not a living thing. It’s a means to an end or a process by which humans deal with collective issues facing society. Seen this way, politics becomes a very high and noble calling. There was a time when the Catholic Church was influential and powerful before the advent of democracy in Europe. Its clergy presided over despicable atrocities against Protestants. Enliteghment thinkers came up with new ideas and the scientific method in Europe in order change society and in turn this led to weakening of the Church’s hold on public affairs. Many of the Church’s dogmas stood discredited as they failed to stand up to scientific scrutiny. For example, the germ theory of disease was proven and the Church’s dogmatic teaching that illness was due to lack of faith had to be abandoned.
