Yei, 22 April, 2023 / 8:50 pm (ACI Africa).
Animosity among the people of God is “like a time bomb” that results in massive destruction if not duly addressed, the Vicar General of the Catholic Diocese of Yei in South Sudan has said.
In his Tuesday, April 18 homily at Christ the King Cathedral of the South Sudanese Catholic Diocese, Fr. Zachariah Angutuwa Sebit urged the people of God in the country to foster unity in their diversity, and to denounce division and tribalism.
“Division and tribalism in Church and the community are like a time bomb because if it explodes all the buildings will be scattered and destroyed completely,” Fr. Angutuwa said.
He added, “If we continue with the attitude of being disunited in the Church or our communities, we are living like a bomb because once we start fighting, we will kill ourselves.”
“The Church and the community where we live are the places where we need to practice love and unity to enjoy whatever little we have,” the Vicar General of Yei Diocese said.
