salaries – Archbishop Lwanga

The Archbishop of Kampala
archdiocese, Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga has proposed that the central government
should start deducting 10 per cent tithe from monthly salaries of Catholic
believers.
Archbishop Lwanga during a Sunday
mass at Lubaga Cathedral revealed that many Catholics do not pay the tithe,
which slows down church work.
“We lie to God that we pay church
tithe off our monthly salaries. During a mass like this, when time to pay the
tithe reaches, Catholics just pick whatever they get from their pockets and
give in, but the tithe the Bible talks about means that you pay 10 per cent of
your monthly salary,” Archbishop Lwanga stated.
He also gave an example of Germany
where the government takes the responsibility of collecting the church’s
monthly tithe from salaries and hands it to respective Catholic Church leaders.
“In Germany where I have recently
been, if an employee is supposed to be getting Shs1 million, the government
deducts Shs100,000 and he/she walks away with Shs900,000 and it is working very
well,” Archbishop Lwanga said.
It remains unclear as to whether Catholic
believers will support the idea.
