[cumaeansibyl]

Kind of wild to bring America into a discussion of a Ugandan official appointed by the Argentine head of a church based in Italy -- and moreover one that is not by any means the dominant church in the United States

Like dare I suggest that for once it's not about us

The prelate urged christians to use their God-given talents and the gift of life to uplift themselves from poverty, reminding them that God has no place in heaven for the poor. “God will not entertain the poor in heaven. You will not go there. I will also stand at the entrance to stop you from going there. We have misunderstood the gospel. Being poor should not be misinterpreted to be without money,” Ssemogerere said. The Archbishop added, “God will say I created you with eyes, the brain, and gave you life, and you die poor?!. You will perish in hell. We should work hard. Let’s not sleep and be idle.”

No catholicism you were supposed to fight the protestantism not become it!

Ssebaana's death should awaken DP

New Post has been published on https://thespearnews.com/2017/07/06/ssebaanas-death-awaken-dp/

Ssebaana's death should awaken DP

By Karoli Ssemogerere The past several months have been the hardest single spell for members  for the rump Democratic Party. DP has like the children of Israel been at a crossroads for a longtime. Between December and now, the party has buried a former legal advisor, a former secretary general, a former deputy secretary seneral, its first national chairman and now, its president general has also passed on.

In their wide and varied service to DP and Uganda, they all made it in good and bad times. DP is like a religion, the party faithful are always steadfast even where this faith is tested by politics – a numbers game.

Mzee Boniface Byanyima, all the way up to the end, would still probe you on how party  members were faring in their local and national races completely missing the food on his plate.

Visiting Matia Nsubuga at his home, half of the calls he took were checking on party members in Arua, Mbale and other places organising meetings.

Ssebaana was one of the first politicians of the modern era whose campaign style resembled  a fan fair.

In 1980-1985, many events in his constituency were held at Clock Tower Sports Ground, which unfortunately, has degenerated into an eye-sore. Boniface Byanyima’ s Parliament in 1962 kicked off with 24 DP legislators  and ended with just four MPs in 1971. At the time, the Opposition was no longer officially recognised in Parliament.

Ssebaana’ s Parliament in 1981 kicked off with 51 MPs, the highest ever opposition numbers in Parliament by an opposition party and ended with 32 MPs still higher than FDC membership in Parliament today. Yet you would think from later propaganda by NRM and FDC that the entire party had crossed to UPC.

It was only one region Busoga that crossed enmasse and many more DPs were locked out of parliament by the courts. Matia Nsubuga’s time in Parliament was even leaner, just eight DP MPs sat in Parliament during his tenure in his first term, that it seemed like a fortune 10 years later when DP lawmakers increased to 13 and another two DP-leaning MPs.

For an opposition party to last beyond its 60th birthday, it’s just behind ANC founded in 1912, which turned 100 recently.

There are a lot of hard feelings between three main groups in the party;

First is the  headquarter group, the GOOD DP that fairly has been attacked for politics of moderation.

The good DP for better or worse are trudging on at the headquarters and in 2016, smuggled a single member to EALA via NRM.

The second group are the bad DP, who are unfairly attacked as political mistresses to FDC in the same way as their GOOD DP counterparts are attached to NRM. Each of these groups looks upon each other as spoilers.

The third group are the national membership mostly toiling in exile. They are like Christians waiting for the Pope to appoint new bishops and priests. The boundaries between these groups are not clear and fast, as these divisions have always been around.

In the 1960s, Ben Kiwanuka fell out with Basil Bataringaya, who headed DP in Parliament. In the 1980s, many DP party members went to the bush criticising those who stayed, yet many who stayed still stealthily took up arms. Yafesi Sabiiti, Anthony Sekweyama, Gerald Sendaula and other MPs who were executed by both UPC and NRA did not go to the bush.

Ssebaana is lying dead and motionless in a casket, but this is no ordinary funeral. Like the Mormons, we should only be saying he has retreated to a higher universe to join the party founders who fought so hard for a reasonable centrist political party that represented ordinary Ugandans.

If UPC and NRM were to be the party of the mighty, DP was the party of ordinary shopkeepers, farmers and teachers.

Ssebaana’s favorite refrain was that DP was a party of the brainpowers.

Mr Ssemogerere is an Attorney-at-Law and an Advocate.

I certainly don’t fault the one comment in the screenshot (and others on the tweet thread not shown) for calling out American flavors of Christianity, but I do feel the need to point out that Paul Ssemogerere is the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Kampala in Uganda.

This is basically just a member of the Catholic clergy saying what a lot of clergy members of multiple sects of Christianity have actually personally believed in personal opinion for centuries. If American prosperity gospel evangelical strains had any influence on this case, it was making it okay for other powerful Christians to say this quiet part out loud more often and not as the root of this belief. Church hypocrisy should always be called out but it’s definitely not new and not uniquely an American problem.
