[@sparrow96]

people forget that even if Pf cadres were unruly, no one stopped anyone from attending church gathering, hence, making the Church feel threatened.. Sometimes lets not just politicize things. lets be neutral and highlight all valid points when analysing politicians

We love you church❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@saulphiri807]

Well spoken Bishop, the problem they have is when you speak like this they label you as pf cadre.Time will come when all those who criticize & called pf cadres will be zambians,they will say zambians have decided, come 2026 will show this useless government that we zambians the big opposition

Church pray for these opposing non entities defaming & bringing the body of christ into ridicule & disrepute. You have provoked the plans of satanists and evildoers. Church continue with this tragectory. Well meaning Zambians are for you & do pledge continueos support to the body of christ.

[@obedaserenje3192]

Which pastor

[@webbykapuwe266]

Why now and not in pf regime?

[@MosesSichinga]

Solution has been given. So Upnd right now remove tax holiday now and increase share holding percent from 19.4 percent to 50, 60 percent. As simple as that do them now now now.

[@FredSalu]

Daniel 2:21 says And He changes the times and the season He removes kings and raise up kings He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding God sets rulers up and bring rulers down. Sometimes they are wicked. A prime example is Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel told him where his power came from , for God of heaven have given you a kingdom,power, strength and glory

[@Chi__22]

Thankyou, some people believe in God but believe God has nothing to do with who governs his people. How long will people be confused about this, this is his people offocurse God is concerned about governance.

[@KennedyKangungu]

Please teach the word of God not politics,if you want to form a party just form,ecl was beating people, gassing,no freedom of speech,znbc was just for pf,he was closing radio and television stations,pf were killing people, they even almost killed hh and others,kabwili and wife, but you didn't say anything but now people are free you're busy preaching politics why, what God do you save? Tomorrow Sunday you should repeat

[@stanelymbewe339]

All political parties wil go but the word of God wil stil remain. You can insult the bishop today, but the fact is that u wil get a curse and on top of that one day your party wil be no more.

[@GOSPELCHRISTIANBOOKSTORE]

That's true my beloved friend

[@FredrickMutunda]

very true my brother some people we just open our mouth without understanding things,,,God bless your wisdom Bishop.

[@GOSPELCHRISTIANBOOKSTORE]

Some people don't know that these Servants of God are not people to playing with. They are making jokes with them, but they don't that they are cursing themselves. They will regret. God bless you and May His coming rejoice your Hearts.

[@EmmanuelTembo-e9f]

One thing they forgot in their pastoral letter was to include the new development in the Catholic Church and their new revelation and guidance they should give to the Catholics in Zambia. Very very important

[@lauerlatricia488]

I think Zambian bishops are loosing interest on there callings, It's only in Zambia where bishops make politicsl Meetings instead of praying for their country . Where were you when Pf were ruling zambia ????? You all closed your eyes ,you pretended not to hear and see .Now another trible is ruling the country you're waking up and trying to disturb his efforts. I thought you are supposed to bring people to christ ,instead you're inviting people to do politics,well thus why alot of Catholics are running away from your Churches.Please pray for your country and government like other countries do . GOD bless you and correct you.

[@burtonmugala2100]

This Bishop was in heaven between 2014 and 2021.He was not aware what was then If he wsa in Zambia why did keep his mouth completely closed evil was happening and he was dining and wining

[@isaacmilambo2671]

😂😂😂yes he was in heaven moron, catholic are pro bemba pf

[@njekwamutanga9010]

It's high time we all face the truth in this country. Let the government work for now and let's give them time to turn around this situation. These so called problems will over but however we need to be very objective in the way we handle these issues . The Bishop and his team could have done it better by having a meeting with the current government authorities first and talk to them face to face, before doing what he and his team have done. This attitude of attacking the government in power is a tantamount to natural justice and is not allowed anywhere in the world . We have one government in power at a time so if this Bishop and his team want to do politics let them come in the open.

[@njavwa8634]

We expect the church to give well-balanced and helpful advice to the ruling government, not this kind of decisive, one-sided, and demeaning rhetoric. It's a shame how the church plays the biased referee in the full view of all alert citizens in the pretext of talking for the poor. We can see your side, Bishop. Such kind of actions will not help situations at all. If anything, they will bring more discord and more divisions. Our clergy should act more wisely before making utterances for public consumption. We need peace in Zambia, please. In your quest to fight for the poor, you should endeavour to preach a message of peace.

[@ThembaChansa-sz3sn]

You are not serious don’t say things if you are not educated especially in civic education

[@njekwamutanga9010]

@@ThembaChansa-sz3sn maybe it's you who is not educated in civic education, because it were so you wouldn't dare attack me in such a way. So stay in your lane and let me stay in my lane . Otherwise we might go to far beyond your imagination . And don't even write me directly into my personal account again.

[@marymatenga3188]

The bishop is right we need God to intervene this situation, otherwise without God Zambia can perish we don't want our country to perish the Bible says my people perish because of lack of knowledge for this reason Zambia lift up your eyes to God for help

[@katz0178]

It foolish to say pf was doing the same so upnd must be allowed. Upnd won the 2021 election because they promised and campaigned to be different from pf. Personally i think upnd also lacks qualified individuals in the area of governance.

[@FredrickMutunda]

i agree with you 100%,and i find it very difficuilt when people say that,the reason why pf is nolonger in power,so why do pepole always want to reffer to pf bad things,,,,upnd you promised heaven why change now,,,?

[@Jacob-fc3il]

Have you just had access to the Internet? The Bishops even held a joint press briefing with the UPND. Stop commenting if you have nothing of substance to say. What this pastoral letter says is for the greater good of this country. The best you and your kind can do is study the letter and advise the ruling party to adjust accordingly for their own good and the good of all people.

[@Jokmulu]

How transparent is the catholic denomination? The denomination must speak as such " a denomination" and not the body of Christ which is broader and inclusive.

[@zambiachannel1204]

In all fairness, the democratic space in Zambia has not shrieked compared to the way it was during PF’s time. The Catholic Bishops whom I respect have written what they have said because they’re not happy with the Lucifer statement. I’m happy that our esteemed Bishops have have come up on the issue of homosexuality that they don’t believe in homosexuality. How I wish they could send their pastoral statement on homosexuality to some of their counterpart churches in the West who’ve embraced homosexuality. The late Australian Cardinal Pell was hated with passion by some of the Catholics because he refused to give communion to homosexuals.

Bishops what you are doing now is not in line with the word of God. Being servants of God I hope you understand the Bible and do the right things to bring peace to the people of Zambia. Fulfill the word of God which is in 1Timothy 2:1-4 saying," Therefore I exhort first all that supplications,prayers,intercessions,and giving of thanks be made for all men. 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our savior 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Read until to 7 You will learn something from apostle servant of God. Read also Romans 13:1 and Proverbs 24:1-34 Please Bishops stick to the bible and talk to leaders so that we can have peace in the country. You failed to talk to our former president who is our country father alive for now. You were suppose to unite them since he was not in politics to help the current president. Not what you are doing to start announcement of problem which will bring violence. Please go back to the Bible reverse what you have announced because GOD is not happy with you
