All the seven Catholic Bishops in Malawi including the Secretary General for the Episcopal of Malawi (ECM), Fr. George Buleya have left for Rome, for their “Ad Limina Apostolorum” visit, the once-every-five-years trip bishops must make to the Vatican.
The “Ad Limina Apostolorum” (Latin for “to the tombs of the Apostles”) visit brings together bishops with the Holy Father and with the Vatican dicasteries, and helps to evaluate the state of both a nation’s episcopate as well as each particular diocese.

Chigwere, Petulo, Gongoni and Clement osaonetsa umbuli pagulu ngati apa. You do not know about Catholicism.

All the best, our bishops. May the anointing of the first apostles be upon you and help you lead those who follow you to eternal salvation
These arguments are significant proof that “the teachings and principles of Jesus Christ” have not penetrated in the hearts of many fellow Malawians. My people are perishing because of ignorance about His scriptures due partly to lack of reading culture in the end times. May God help ignite in us the desire and thirty to read and understand His words and act accordingly.
am proud of u guyz,those who take part on dis page.
Hey look at the titles: Holy Father, His Lordship,His Grace, Most Reverend!! These are titles of GOD!
GUYS,TAMVETSETSANI BWINO BWINO MUSANAYAMBE MA COMMENT ANUWO.WHO IS THE HOLY FATHER? MUKUDZIWA KUTI UMENEWU NDI MWANO WAWUKULU PAMASO PAMULUNGU? JESUS CHRIST IS DE ONE WHO IS HOLY. NOT UR STUPID POPE,LORD HAVE MERCY
If you have abusa kumpingo kwako iwe Clement and you ever call them “Reverend”, then tell me the difference with “Holy Father”! For argument’s sake, these are just titles to show dignity to the leadership of the Church. In addition, when a leader of a Church (in this case the Holy Catholic Church) speaks on issues of doctrine, he CANNOT err because we believe he speaks on behalf of God (can God err?). This last point is the one which led to the Pope being called the Holy Father, and that he is INFALLIBLE when speaking on issues of dogma/doctrine
Do not be deceived, anyone including a leader of any church is only human – flesh and blood hence can err even if they purport to speak on behalf of God. How many people claiming to be speaking on behalf of God have lead people astry. For instance the pope encourages idol worship (worship of graven images including that of Mary) no wonder this commandment was taken out in the catechism, now tell me if he cannot err!
Analyst, do not waste your breathe urguing with these idiots. Both Clement & Petulo are idiots and do not know the dogma of the church. Let them talk it wont change anything. The church is much focused, stronger, well organised than their little brains.
