THE POST Says St Ignatius Catholic Church Has Produced The Highest Number Of Corrupt People Who Have Stolen From The People
The Post Newspapers have downplayed Fr Chilinda’s Preaching of forgiveness minus the people knowing the truth about any graft as not being fair.The Post says, you can not ask for forgiveness without correcting the wrongs.
THE POST said “We ask our priests to respect themselves and be exemplary in their daily lives.
We ask this of them because they cannot call others to virtues which they themselves do not make an effort to practice. It is said that justice begins at home and our priests themselves must be the first to give witness.
We say this in the light of the clearly embarrassing position taken by Fr Charles Chilinda, the assistant Parish priest at St Ignatius Catholic Church in Lusaka. It is well known in the church circles that Fr Chilinda has been a sympathiser of the MMD and of Rupiah Banda. He supported them when they were in power and today he is trying to protect them from prosecution when they are out of power. This is understandable.
But it is dishonesty on Fr Chilinda’s part to try and conceal the base from which he is speaking. He is not speaking as an impartial leader of a Catholic congregation but as a sympathiser of Rupiah and the MMD. Fr Chilinda should be ashamed that of all the Catholic congregations, St Ignatius has produced the highest number of corrupt elements, people who have stolen from the government, from the poor.
This is what we call Fr Chilinda to let him defend the interests of the poor by ensuring that those who have robbed them are made to pay back through prosecutions if they are not willing to do so voluntarily. Fr Chilinda should place the interests of the poor above the respect of a former president who has abused his office and his people. “

I support ba Kamenga. Let Fr c. tell us what wrong RB has done. Then we’ll decide whether to forgive or not. The man of action corrected him right there in church.

Psalms 56:5
Don’t worry ba Father, some of us know you meant no harm. We are just tired of being poor and imagine all the money stolen should have been ours – so you are now being used as ‘ubwembya’ to get to whoever.

Every one is free until proven guilt. What the Fr. is telling us means he knows why we should forgive. I am sure every one will be interested to know the wrongs people have committed before their are forgiven.

Father Chilinda has been villified by many for giving HIS advise at the end of a sermon to the congregation. In the frenzy many people have missed a valid albeit how wrong it may have been put across. Father Chilinda facilitated the reconciliation of SATA and LEVY and no one screamed to ask WHAT about they were reconciling. Isnt it the irony of Zambia. BAMUSELELA KWAKABA

Fr. Chilinda anaitaya. I am a Catholic myself but I think the priest erred. He should ask Lupiya to confess his sins first,then ask for pardon and mercy. that’s the way it works other than asking us to forgive RB without telling us the wrongs RB did.
