My comments
Masaka district is one of the greatest strongholds of Catholicism in Uganda. This district is a home to so many catholic sub-cults. It is a place where a series of Mary apparitions have taken place. The most recent fracas in this district involves a catholic priest and the so called miracle baby. The culprits in this saga failed to produce the so-called miracle baby. They argue that she was taken by the Holy Spirit to heaven. They say that those who cant see the child do not have faith, because the child can only be seen by a person who is full of faith. Other catholic theatrics involve a catholic apostle called Kazibwe, still of Masaka district who claims to have supernatural healing powers (see, article below).The Catholic Church is getting more and more irrelevant especially to the youth and so Satan is trying to change tactics aimed at keeping people trapped in the Catholic Church. Despite the lies of the likes of Pastor Kayanja that Uganda’s Christian population is 92%,(see, Charisma magazine, 2002) many Ugandans continue to be trapped in the counterfeit roman Catholic Christian sect. Despite the so called city based Pentecostal revivals, Uganda is still largely engrossed in Catholicism and witchcraft.

‘Miracle’ baby divides Masaka

Masaka
Public attention has been drawn to a home near Masaka Town where a child is said to have been born with a Bible, a palm tree leaf and tunic similar to the one worn by Jesus.
The two - month old baby is said to be talking, making some section of the public say she could be a messiah sent by God.
Fr. Peter Bakka, from Nsambya in Kampala, has been holding prayers at the baby’s home since Sunday.
Ms Sylvia Nassimbwa, a resident of Kijajja Village in Rakai District, claims that when she went for antenatal care at a dispensary near her home, the health officer told her that she is pregnant with quadruplets.
She also claims that on August 12, she had a miscarriage when she was four months pregnant and three of the babies came out dead, save for the one living now.
Ms Nassimbwa added that when the baby was examined, it looked mature.
Her close relatives and husband, Mr Joseph Muyanja, are the only ones who have reportedly seen and heard the baby talk.
Fr. Bakka says only those who have faith in God can see the child or hear her talk adding that he baptised the baby and named her Margaret Nabiddo.
“This child has a message for repentance, forgiveness and examining our duties as people who fear God,” he said.
However, the Bishop of Masaka Diocese John Baptist Kaggwa, had asked everybody including Fr. Bakka to vacate the place to give the church a chance to make its own investigations.
Bishop Kaggwa told Daily Monitor: “As a church, we don’t believe what people are saying about the existence of such a child. We have to investigate first.”
The baby was taken to the home of Mr Peter Walusimbi of Kayijja Village near Masaka Town on Sunday. A step-daughter to Mr Walusimbi, Ms Margaret Kyakuwa, a lecturer in the US, said she had a dream that a child had been born and that it should be brought to Mr Walusimbi’s home.
Hundreds of people have streamed their home to see the baby without success. They shouted at Fr. Bakka to stop conducting prayers and allow them see the child but he ignored their requests.
The Police intervened and arrested Fr. Bakka and the alleged parents of the child and took them to Masaka Police Station.
There was also no baby found in the house after a thorough search by the Police.
The Officer in charge of Mobile Police in Southern Region, Mr Henry Kintu, said, Fr. Bakka will help with investigations.
“He has been hoodwinking the public and has drawn public attention to a nonexistent mysterious event,” he said.
Police disperse rowdy Masaka congregation

THE anti-riot Police dispersed hundreds of people on Wednesday who had turned up at Bujja village in Masaka diocese to see a two-month-old baby said to have delivered a message from God.
The Police also arrested Fr. Peter Bakka, who was presiding over the ceremony and the parents of the baby, Slyvia Nasimbwa and Joseph Muyanja.
The Police searched the house where the baby was reportedly kept and found nothing.
The ‘parents’ of the baby claimed that angels took the baby to heaven because people had turned rowdy.
Some residents had braved the scotching sun from 9:00am to 4:00pm to see the baby identified as Margaret Nabiddo, in vain.
The southern regional Police commander, Olivia Waweri, said Bakka had prevented her from seeing the baby when she arrived at the scene at 9:00am, saying it was only possible after the unveiling that was to take place at 10:00am after mass.
However, the congregation started getting suspicious when the mass took long to end.
Bakka claimed the baby had performed several miracles since last Friday when he baptised her at Nabigasa in Rakai district.
He added that the baby was born with a Bible and a palm tree leaf in her hand.
At about 12:30pm after the mass, the gathering turned rowdy demanding that the baby be brought out, which prompted the Police to act.
In a statement, Bishop John Baptist Kaggwa of Masaka diocese condemned the act and advised Catholics to desist from getting involved in the matter, saying it was against the Church principles.

Priest suspended over mystery baby

Fr. Peter Bakka of Masaka diocese has been suspended after he apologised to the Catholic Church for his involvement in the fake miracle baby.
“Fr Bakka shall not conduct any mass or give out any sacraments. We have banned the books where he has been the author because they contain misleading information,” said bishop John Baptist Kaggwa, the Masaka diocese bishop.
Bishop Kaggwa told the people to refrain from the team that has been working closely with Fr Bakka.
Earlier, the priest apologised for baptising the mystery baby and cerebrating holy mass without the permission of local church leaders.
The bishop then welcomed the apology but said the Church had procedures to be followed in resolving such matters.
He regretted that the incident had caused damage and shame to the Catholic Church.
Kaggwa noted that the Church had finalised plans to set up a commission of inquiry into the matter and all those who were involved.
He also instructed Catholics to fast one day per week and to open up a monthly rosary praying session to restore their spiritual strength.
“We are very ashamed and sorry for such an incident to take place within our diocese. We pray to God to forgive us,” he said.
Kaggwa warned the public not to easily believe fake prophets, saying they should always consult church leaders when such strange incidents happen in their communities.
“We are aware that Fr Bakka is gifted with a talent of convincing people. He is brilliant and sometimes he goes to extremes when he believes in something,” he said.
Bishop Kaggwa barred believers from following Fr. Bakka on pilgrimages to Kibewo in Masaka, where miracles have reportedly been occurring.
