Hurt, Scandal & heresy, Bishop Martin Anwel Mtumbuka rejecting Fiducia Supplicans

#catholic

[@dija5578]

What struck me most, he is most concerned with those of his flock who walk 2 DAYS to attend Mass.. God Bless this devoted to Apostolic Truth Bishop.. If only we in the US and Europe had this zeal for the Faith.

[@thecatholicman]

Indeed, that comment moved me a lot! Here in Europe majority of Catholics can’t be bothered with Mass and the German heretics are looking to bless Sin..

[@sheila7809]

Bishop Strickland IS faithful & Francis fired him. Wonder how many other Bishops he'll fire.

[@Mar--Mar]

@@sheila7809 He can't fire the numerous African bishops without gravely damaging his own position. He knows that.

[@sandradoherty9358]

AMEN ...many Irish missionaries went to your country, Africa, ....we sensed that at some point Africa would SHINE LIKE A BRIGHT LIGHT in the Darkness. Pope Francis & Bishops we pray for daily. A young anxious boy came home to his mum recently asking if he was a boy. These are the objections for me the psychological & Spiritual damage to children.

[@evelyncarrasquillo2282]

[@yagi3925]

Thank you so much, Lord Bishop, for this forceful "confessio fidei"! So many saints and martyrs put their lives on the line to publicly confess the faith and you are following in their footsteps. You are truly a good shepherd, exposing your life (your "career") for your flock. May God bless you, Lord Bishop! Note: I am European and I believe that this is not about the rich world against the poor one, or one continent against another. It is about confessing the apostolic faith or not. In this respect, it obvious that Africa has a lot to teach us. Thank you again, African brethren, thank you My Lord. I'll keep you in my prayers.
