New Vision (Kampala) - December 8, 2005
Mathias Mazinga
He lashed out at condom agitators, saying they were frustrating the church's efforts to defend the people from HIV/AIDS.
"We always get critics, who attack us and try to silence us whenever we pronounce our anti-condom stand.
They say we should limit ourselves to giving Christians catechetical instruction. Such people create a tricky situation for priests, which unfortunately makes our people more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS," Ddungu said.
He said this at a thanksgiving mass for the 25th priestly anniversary of Fr. Charles Lwanga Ssengendo at Kakoola, Mpigi district on Saturday.
