The Church and Power

In the annals of wo/mankind the "church" has always been in cahoots with the powers that be. The great warrior-king/chief of yonder years had his or her retinue of soothsayers, alchemists, medicine wo/men sangomas, sorcerers or witchdoctors. Constantine, in the Edict of Milan and a later edict made Christianity the religion of the Roman Empire. The Church of England (from which the Church of Uganda is derived) was created by a debauching, licentious King who hanged his wife at the Tower of London.

That the Bishops of the Church of Buganda should be hobnobbing with a despised family is nothing surprising. It seems the Kisozi farm (carved out of a huge tract of Buganda land) has subtly replaced Rwakitura as the venue for deal-making. But that is another story as we will be seeing more and more self-interests trooping to the halo ground.

Next time the bishops come praying, thump your nose from the stinks they carried from Kisozi lest you go into a coma and become a zombie.
