We’re not scared of you – Fr Mukosa tells Mweetwa
CATHOLIC Church priests and Bishops won’t be be intimidated by the UPND government and that isolating individual clerics for political attacks such as Auxiliary Bishop of Chipata, Gabriel Msipu Phiri is being naïve and sacrilegious, Fr Andrew Chewe Mukosa has said.
And government has announced that it shall isolate Auxiliary Bishop Msipu from the Catholic Church and deal with him as an individual for criticizing the UPND government over its failure to deliver on its promises in the four years it has been in government.
Fr Mukosa says it is being ignorant for Cornelius Mweetwa, the Chief government Spokesperson to threaten and intimidate Auxiliary Bishop Msipu of Chipata Diocese for challenging the UPND to tell Zambians what it had done in the last four years.
A simple public request on behalf of Chipata residents from Father Msipu. Which only required a sensible tabulated response indicating CDF, Cash for work, perpetual blaming of PF, free education, chronic presidential lies and other nonsense this government call development. Instead this government like every time has decided to declare war against the Catholic bishops.
UPND will not manage to bring down the Catholic Church. An attack on Auxiliary Bishop Gabriel Msipu of Chipata is an attack on all of us Catholics. Bring your attack on, Mweetwa! You will know what we are made of as Catholics.
Was Mr. Mweetwa saying UPND would bring down the Catholic Church?
Let me quote exactly what he said.
“BISHOP MSIPU WE AS GOVERNMENT, ARE NOT RESPONDING TO THE CHURCH BECAUSE WE KNOW THESE ARE YOUR PERSONAL VIEWS. WE WILL NOW BEGIN TO RESPOND TO YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL ”
Some of us are members of the catholic church and do not support the behavior of some of the Catholic priests getting involved in politics. We have lost the mission. The mission of the church is to save souls for Christ,
Please have a little bit of common sense even as you defend that foolish senseless priest or Auxiliary bishop Phiri and his foolish followers in Lumezi.
That Bishop Phiri was telling lies – listen to his video again. He was saying him and people of Lumezi voted for the Govt because of the lies the Govt told him and the people of Lumezi.
But any idyot including yourself can see the hypocrisy of Bishop Phiri! The fools never voted for the Govt because they voted to Munir Zuku and Edgar Lungu and those are the LIARS they voted for. That is why Munir Zulu is their MP so why is Bishop Phiri telling us lies. Did he vote for the Govt? Absolutely not!
Idyots and Arsewhores like you should be thinking before you say anything….and it is fact that Bishop Phiri didnt vote for the UPND. Why should an old Arsewhore turn around and say the opposite! We need to tell him that he never voted for us in UPND and let him take his woes to Munir Zulu, his childish and useless MP!
Exactly and I hope another edioti like him Indigo Tyrol, is listening. Let’s hit back while the iron is still hot. Anyway they’re Defunct TuPF criminals and they’re dead and buried
According to Indigo Tyrol the other nine Provinces must vote like they vote in Southern Province for HH7 in 2026, so that Defunct TuPF criminals are eliminated from the political scene forever
Vote wisely vote for HH7 in 2026/31
I am a Catholic Baptised and confirmed, but our church has become louder on government issues than helping the poor souls who needs deliverance. Let the truth be told not lies.HH has done so much on the ground, but tribal hatred is blinding them. Our Bishops are misleading the poor congregants who don`t understand how economics works.This is the time the government should come out head on and educate these poor Bishops what has been done so far. We are having a church which can never help the poor but only itself and the promiscuous priest only forgetting its purpose.
Haamusonda my friend, complaints and criticism do not amount belligerence at all. Your government is so insecure that it responds to citizens’ complaints with vile threats.Learn to listen to the people.
If this is the caliber of your ministers my friend, prepare for more criticism and complaints.At the moment you are wallowing in gross incompetence.
HaaMusonda, feel free to join the SDA. You belong there, and do not lie that you are a Catholic. You are putting your tribe first before country and God.
The Bishops are only repeating what citizens are afraid to say in public for fear of being arrested and locked up for years without trial.
Reject tribalism, corruption and oppression.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Haa wakumamako. We have to idiots above who believe the worst about everyone outside their bubble is Tonga. These are serious Tribalists who doesn’t care that the country has been subjected to so many decades of Poverty. Their comments are only interesting in their banality and how they all seem paradoxically to exalt simultaneously individualism and tribal group think. You still have a long way to go boys.
Very true.
They might even be the same idiot using different aliases. Whatever they are, it’s the same tired hatred and nonsense every post.

Ba observer, do you honestly see sense in baseless criticisms from this auxillary bishop to warrant even response from a normal person? I left the Catholic church because of these same unspiritual worthless utterances from people we respected do dearly. They do more mundane things than even the heathen!!!! They are simply the worst hypocrites in religious regalia. What does he know about economics when he did not even qualify to go to university at grade twelve and went to seek survival in the seminary??? Read Romans 13:1-4 if you do read the Bible then you will see where the bishop was amiss.
Don’t criticise someone if you cannot offer a solution.
Next time Catholica must just contest for political office
Just allow some of these priest to contest as MPs on constituencies.They have shown high desire for politics.They actually learn political science.They want to leave the pulpit.If the church they love so much becomes an enemy to the public it’s their own fault.They have shown some tribal affiliation, which is very unfortunate.They must play a serious role in uniting the people in the country.You come out and stand as councillors, Mayors and so on.It’s like you feel the people you “longana” with don’t listen to your verses only when you become politicians that’s when they can hear.Join politics so that you longana well.Why are you on Mwetwa, he is just trying to advise.
There’s nothing like scaring or TIT for TAT in the body of Christ or for those who are members of the body of Christ or the body of Christ let alone those who do the will of the devil – 666
Otherwise they are known by their own colors
These Catholic Bishops should just join politics.
Cage this pfool who has just noticed that Zambians are suffering now. We have been suffering since the birth of Zambia. When pfool were in power you never saw the suffering, now that there are no more brown envelopes suddenly you have realised the suffering of the people. You ate with the devil . Just work hard like all Zambians do. It’s only corrupt “fake men of god” like you who have no shame to claim that this is the only time in the history of Zambia that are we suffering. Where were you during, unip,mmd and pfools reign? Its you who is failing to feed your family. Don’t hide behind the cloth come out
You will soon be visited by LEAs so that you will be given chance to explain your dreams properly. Stop misleading the church. Even God detests fake prophets of doom like you. If Zambia has become inhabitable for you, just leave the country and go elsewhere where your madness will be accepted shaa!
The observer is removing contributions that are not supporting the government
