For those of us who followed the Pastoral Letter and past two events on people living with albinism, the Catholic Church has written two statements regretting over what their priest is alleged to have been involved. The priest has been suspended in order to be investigated. Even in the group of the 12 apostles of Jesus, one was a traitor, Judas Iscariot. In the priesthood, there are Judases. In every lifestyle there are judases. Are you going to condemn all apostles just because Judah’s was one of the traitors? Are you going to condemn all medical personnel because one of… Read more »

This letter could have been written in 1985 and it would be as relevant then as it is today. The letter therefore should not have been addressed to the seasoned politicians but rather the general public; it is they who choose who governs. The voting public has so much power to define there destiny. They have therefore chosen to suffer in their lifetime and the generation after them. Theres something truly wrong with the people in general and less so with the politicians. “A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims… but accomplices” George Orwell

Since the dawn of multipartism in our country i don’t think the majority understand democracy. Electing leaders into positions has become the challenge thus why we have failed leaders who don”t put people first. People elect leaders because of what they have not for who they are. Imagine someone with the background of stealing can he make a good leader? If we are to have good leaders, we must first define them by the following; who are these people , what do they want from politics. With weak agricultural policies,the government cannot uplift lives of the rural masses.We have commodity… Read more »

Can the Catholic Church issue a pastoral letter for priests who kill albinos and priests who have sexual relations and children? By the way, the Catholic Church tells its followers not to use contraception, and yet our high population is putting pressure on our resources at government and household level… and increasing poverty. Their decree is contributing to our poverty. The Catholic Church (and other churches) are to blame for our poverty and many other problems. Stop issuing these pastoral letters – it’s annoying because you are hypocrites.

@ pathumba Banda Intelligent question and I have a pretty short answer to you buddy. I won’t use words as conveyed verbally or through writing to speak. Rather I will use my vote in May 2019 to communicate what lies in me. Back to you rather misplaced understanding of the pastoral letter . If you take your time to read the letter with a sober and mature mind and not as a sycophant you will find that every single issue that the bishops have touched on is factual. The issue of epileptic power supply is never a hearsay. Abuse of… Read more »

You should have written your comment in chichewa. He is a cadet, he can not understand the language. A Shona proverb which literally translates to “wosauka alibe chibalo”- someone who does not know where his next meal is going to come from when he is arrested because he is on the wrong side of the law, he gets at least a meal everyday in prison, he can never regret being there.

What do these people know? A majority of leaders are christians. The churches are failing to produce citizens who are upright and god fearing. Dont blame government as it can only recruit Malawians a majority of whom are your mambers. The churches have been blaming successive governments of plunder yet all the thieves are their own people who donate a lot of the stolen money to the church. Just take a look at cashgaters you will notice that the big looters are either Catholics or Seventh Day Adventists. Please Bishops instead of shifting the blame to government teach your members… Read more »
