Death of Woman @ Revd Fr’s House– What Zambians Are Saying

The recent death of a married woman and member of the Catholic Women’s League in Lusaka has got Zambians talking – pouring invective than anything else.

The story as carried on this platform earlier: ‘Woman Dies In Priest’s Room, After Lying To Hubby She Was Going To Funeral‘ is of the woman, identified as lying to her husband that she was attending a funeral when she was actually going to the house of a Catholic priest?

She had since been buried and the Revd Father suspended, but the issues it raked up have seen Zambians from all walks using the opportunity to air their opinions.

Below, we recap some of the opinions as expressed to a Lusaka Times correspondent by readers. Feel free to drop your own opinion:

A lot of the beautiful younger members of the CWL are girlfriends or just sexually abused by some of the randy men in robes including the married women unfortunately.

If some men in robes can not keep their vow of celibacy, then the honorable thing to do is to quit priesthood and join the fray and get lost in the maze!!….

-Bingo

 Mmmm ba Father Naimwe why? You Lady which devil entered your heart? Why leaving your husband and go to a false man of God for extra affairs? Sad that a life is lost.

-Truth Hate

 The Catholic priest is promiscuous and the married woman is also promiscuous. Us we only sleep with unmarried young and beautiful women. If you want to go out with women, why become a Catholic father? It’s like those desperate Diasporas who go out with old, fat women just to get immigration papers. Now forgive me as I’m out to enjoy my whiskey with my woman. —Kaizar Zulu, Kz

 Father Mukwikile! Arch Bishop Milingo has always been calling the Catholic Church to change the doctrine of celibacy. Instead of listening to his wise counsel they decided to ex-communicate him. Do they know better than him? NO. Arch Bishop Milingo knows what real life is and man’s desires. Marriage was ordained by God so it doesn’t make you less pious if you marry. “He’s definitely not from among us he that doesn’t marry”. How will the congregants ever trust priests? We know that they are human and they also use mwana apeluke. Many Fathers have children. What will give you salvation isn’t the doctrine but the true word of God. Celibacy is an archaic doctrine that must be re-visited now! – Ayatollah

I partly agree with my clone above who is based in south Africa. However, for me i say let us not conclude or make assumptions until the final results of the investigation has been availed to us all. We need facts and am sure the legal process will take effect should this man be found with a case to answer. I hope people respect the legal process and desist from useless comments which could prejudice the investigation.  -Kaizar Zulu

 By the way, my pet or rather clone with south African flag, please note that I have effected a self ban on consuming whiskey. Also for those that know me, they know that I do not drink during work hours. Next time take note of that if you want to come out as a genuine KZ. I have to say you are getting better. Good boy – Kaizar Zulu

I hv been associated with the Catholic church in my childhood. In fact the first white person I shook hands with was a Catholic priest. To this day I still admire the dedication and drive of pioneer priests who opened up Zambia and endured daunting challenges all those years ago. They came from Europe or USA without interpreters in most cases. They were never too proud to learn the local language of the area they went to, unlike today’s priests. And these were languages so different from their European languages. Yes, there are problems in the church but the Catholic church remains a force for good, not perfection, in this world. -Nemwine

The problem is no solely with the priest, but even the lady why should you be invited by a bachelor and you accept to go to his room at awkward time.If anything she was suppose to tell her husband that the priest want to see her. That she never did because she consented -Lyayo

Chigololo in some churches is so rampant, sometimes i wonder whether we worship the living God who sees beyond our ordinary eyes. The catholics are practicing cult type of Christianity. They are known for child molestation around the world. Meanwhile PF must go! -Madilu system

Don’t bring God into your folly. Keep icimbuya between yourselves. God doesn’t have cousins -GUNDIXY

If it was a papa, Catholics would have had a party of comments. Now because its one of them, they are ndwiiiiii. if your wife or girl friend is in a habit of visiting priests houses, just know she is being sanitized. Priest nayena munthu! alikwata ama feelings. –Peter Njobvu

Awe bonse kuti twa wa pa pena!! Very beautiful lady among the usually ugly CWL, Father kuti awa, nao muntufye. MYSRIEP Mama!! -Kalikeka

Much as we are encouraged to congregate, I have prayed from my home on my own for several years and I have still grown spiritually, I will never go to these wolves and submit myself. There are many examples who have fallen including bishops, the other one even used politics to marry and he is now in Australia. These guys don’t play, they hit hard, even some of these women looking decent at home and at church, they are victims or accomplices, there is rampant hammering –-Maikalange

She cheated so much that she even got pregnant. Who am I to judge you, sweete -Tondo

Church women the worst hypocrites out there…I bet its tough for them now with lockdown!! -Tarino Orange

If the Bible is the Word of God and every priest is required to live by it’s principles and it specifically says at Timothy chapter 3 that a deacon /priest/elder or whatever renk must be a husband of one wife and of sober character, why then does the catholic church insist on celibacy? This is paganism! Satanic! Wicked! -Wantanshi

He wishes he was a minister, he was going to be allowed to work while the investigation was going on -SkyLab       

Lord Have Mercy! I don’t trust people with more than 2 names. They always have multiple personalities. Ladies, why get pregnant mu affair – The Nubian Princess

Shame…….Dont force your will against the will of God…..that is what is meant by “Kicking against the pricks” -Onowu Umwankanta

Wantanshi – Because the bible is full of ***** to dupe you!! -Tarino Orange
