The Vicar General of Kampala Msgr. Charles Kasibante has challenged the country against cultural practices that contradict with the rights and freedom of humanity and Christianity.
At the celebrations of first ever Kampala Vicariate day at St. Charles Lwanga Ggaba Parish Msgr. Kasibante said acts of witchcraft, human sacrifice, hatred and tribalism are never part of cultural norms and values but some elements take advantage of others to make such practices part of it to abuse life.
He says globalization has also come along with number of challenges especially that threaten life like abortions, use of contraceptives and test tube babies which are practiced by Ugandans well knowing that they contradict with the Christian teaching.
The head of laity in Kampala Vicariate John Nsubuga noted with concern the increased individualism yet Christians emphasizes unity, love and sharing especially with the most vulnerable. He says although Kampala is urban Christianity requires collective responsibility.
The head of laity in Kampala Archdiocese Aloysius Ivan Kalanzi also challenged Christians against abusing the Catholic vows and sacraments due to selfish interests. He identified challenges such as Christian who have started to demand for divorces, demanding to marry more than one wife and domestic violence among others.
Christians from all the five deaneries that make up Kampala Vicariate that is headed by Msgr. Gerald Kalumba; Lubaga, Nsambya, Nakulabye, Nagulu and Christ the King were represented along with their deans.
Kampala Archdiocese was divided into four vicariates; Mitalamaria, Kampala, Wakiso and Entebbe which are under the leadership of Most Rev. Dr. Cyprian Kizito Lwanga.
