The Parish Priest of Christ the King Church, Monsignor Gerald Kalumba has condemned the manner in which a fellow catholic priest was arrested following an accident in which a traffic officer was killed.
Fr. Claudio Ssegonja of Bwaise Parish was arrested and charged with reckless driving last week after the car accident claimed the life of a policeman near River Katonga on the Kampala Masaka Road.
Kalumba described the manner in which the priest was arrested as 'inhuman' and urged Ugandans to exercise restraint and humility in such matters.
"The way our priest was arrested was inhuman. It was an accident but he was hand-cuffed and thrown on the back of the pick-up truck like a thief," he said.
Kalumba was addressing Christians during Christmas celebrations at Christ the King Church in Kampala on Sunday.
He appealed to Christians to exercise humility and to focus their minds on the life of Jesus during the festive season.
He also urged Christians to dedicate their lives to Jesus Christ during the Christmas period, instead of merry-making.
"Christmas is not just about eating, rejoicing and dancing, but also a time to reflect on its impact in our lives and our society," he said.
Kalumba condemned the proliferation of witchcraft and asked believers to change their ways during the Christmas season.
He also advised Christians shun their past lives riddled with sin and to embrace a new life free from intolerance and falsehood.
Citing the book of Isaiah in the Bible, he said: "Jesus is the King; as Christians, we should not just sing his glory. Instead, we should live in such a way that those who see us glorify him," Kalumba said.
He also cautioned Christians against pride, saying it was a short-cut to sin. He called upon Christians to emulate the life of Jesus, who came to the world as a baby yet he was king.
