Is the Ugandan Anglican Church a cave for Political Thieves?
The on-going Mukono by-elections has revealed so many things which transcend political bounds, namely, the sole motive of and lacunas that are inherent in the Anglican church. Reverand Bakalubba’s candidature to run for Mukono North constituency is more revealing to the fact that the Anglican Church is no more interested in the character and spiritual concerns of its followers and leaders but only their money and political fame. Its quite ridiculous that no spiritual action was taken by the church against Reverand Peter Bakalubba Mukasa after the Supreme court and the law of the land caught him red handedly and confirmed (and Himself agreed ) that he was a THIEF on Tuesday, 30th March, 2010.
Bakaluba still goes around Mukono District soliciting for votes un shamingly wearing the Anglican church cassock . Theft is a sin in the Bible. Ex 20: 15 explicitly states that “Though shalt not steal”. Theft, whether political, economical, social, spiritual is a sin. Let Bakalubba’s thinking not exhibit a young mind which only knows that theft involves only taking your mothers sauce in her absence. Bakalubba and the Anglican church should instead know that stealing is a sin which carries the same weight as other sins. If Bakalubba can steal and the Anglican church keeps quite how sure are we that Bakalubba and the Anglican church cannot commit adultery, engage in child sacrifice, corruption, rape and all other evils that’s carries the same weight as theft?
Everyday that passesby reveals that the Anglican church is becoming more political than spiritual. The church feels more contented when its members amass political fame than spiritual fame. How dare the Anglican church allow Reverend Peter Bakalubba Mukasa to continue his candidature of running for Mukono North Parliementary seat without any disciplinary action taken against him? The church did not even issue a statement on his character! Not even forcing him to publicly repent and/or saying sorry for the wrongs he committed (I say publicly because Bakalubba stole public goods, namely public votes) not only against humanity and the state but also the church and the Bible teachings which are a central pillar to the entire Christian life? What a hell that through Bakalubba’s wrong doing the Protestant church has in hesitantly allowed to reveal the real motives of its founders, that’s to say, to protest against the RIGHT Doctrine and fight it to its death!
Recently the Catholic pope was forced to apologise to the whole world for the wrongs that the Catholic fathers had committed elsewhere in the world and he did. Why doesn’t Archibishop Oruko Orombi guide his leaders to apologetic living? Why only hear Orombi encourage his followers to engage in politics but not guide them on what right politics is! I have now understood why the person who has raped Uganda’s constitution un shamingly belongs to the Anglican church. Mr Archibishop that is Spiritual hypocrisy which only leaves all intelligent Ugandans wondering whether the Anglican church is not a cave for political thieves!!!
