Because people are disgruntled with the ‘current’, the alternative gets a free pass even though he may be an unsuitable leader.
I am frankly surprised at the support being accorded to this priest, this early after his declaration. Politically, he is an unknown.
How do you know he would make a good leader??? Being a good priest (or person) does not automatically translate to being a good president.
Shame on people lauding father Bwalya as president before he’s even presented his party’s manifesto!!!
]]>Celibacy was not introduced as a way of stopping Ecclesiastical abuses as you state.
In the 12th Century, priests were forbidden to marry in order to ensure that money remained with the Church and was not inherited.
Pope Benedict VIII in the 11th century officially declared that priests were banned
from taking on wives or mistresses in order to protect church property
rights.
If you look a little deeper, you’ll find that money, not God is behind a lot of religious dogmas.
