Catholic Church to sue over name

Share

The Catholic Church in Zambia says it will take legal action against a break away church which is using its name. Zambia Episcopal Conference, ZEC, Spokesperson, Father Paul Samasumo said the new religious group has no right to use the name of Catholic church. Fr. Samasuno said ZEC is currently consulting its lawyers with a view of taking action to restrain the new group from using the name of the Catholic Church. He told ZNBC news, that the Catholic Church respects the law which allows formation of churches but cannot allow its name to be used by other groups. Tuesday, a break away group from the catholic church, launched a church in Zambia – called the Catholic Apostolic National Church of Zambia. Archbishop elect and apostolic administrator Reverend, Luciano Mbewe announced the launch of the church. Meanwhile Chief Government Spokesperson, Mike Mulongoti said the launch of the Catholic Apostolic National Church of Zambia is retrogressive.[ZNBC]

  1. Ala, nipakalilo kuli ba Luciano Mbewe. Milingo be careful of Luciano, he is not a trusted person. Immediately you stop sending that money, he will turn against you, bwana Milingo. Why does Luciano wants to call his brothel, Catholic? Do not bring the name Catholic into disrespectful use, use one of those names you use in brothels. Please, take him to court so that he can pay heavily for his sins!!

  2. Fr Paul, you are now running to the courts? Oh no dont take this personal as if you were a chairman running a club.This Is a church man, if you think they ve errored go into the closet and pray,than you going to the ungodly to decided the things of God, otherwise just concentrate on explaining to yo flock why you are “single”

  3. Uncle dee # 2 .Just shut up, what do you know? You sound like some ignorant chap who can’t reason.Legally the catholic church has every right to sue over their name.What school did you go to, i wonder if any.

  4. Contd. The church should not take care of the poverty of the ex priests out of fear of splinter churches, but out of love and concern of every human being. The church has survived greater earthquakes than Anzanga.

  5. Its a New kacha,,,where the courts will preside over the spiritual conflicts.
    Just pray and the Lord will respond.Is it not what you do preach unto us?
    Any Faith in God resolving your conflicts?
    Oh yeap,may prayers of such a kind never get responded to.
    Merry Xrristmas

  6. The problem with the catholic church is that it has combined human wisdom and spiritual things.Fr Mbewe has thrown a challenge to the catholic church to justify where it is written that a priest cant marry.its not written anywhere and its just a human law and not from God.iam not catholic but i believe its time for the catholic church to start preaching thou saith the lord and not thou saith the pope.we are tired with human wisdom.this is a problem when u mix pagan teaching and christian things

  7. the catholic church has been very instrumental in changing the course of what the bible teaches.i have been to what they call the poor claires in palabana area as u go to chongwe.that to me is volaiing huaman rights of people where they have kept pipo like they are slaves who dont tuk to each other i wonder where the govt is.this church must be controlled here in zambia or else zambia is doomed for satanic acts.when u kep evil practices for a long time the end result is true.

  8. It is a shame that these things is happenin in my own country zambia.lets all remember that zambia is a christian nation,bt what am seen is turning to a political nation instend.in the bable it is says when the judgement is near lots of the things will be happening,nation will rease 4 each other,churches also will rease 4 each other.and these ar the things happening.fr mbewe standing fame to distroy christianity may God deliver u fr.pliz pipo he needs cacelin and more players.it jst that he has forgoten he is a man of God.pliz fr mbewe find another name instead of bringing distration in the nation.God help him.

  10. well Fr mbewe is not wrong in this matter but the church called catholic is in this matter.he has not committed any crime coz he’s stance is in conformity with what the bible teaches so tell me who is right the person obeying what God wants or that person obeying man the pope.this celibacy thing has nothing to do with God but the devil.so wake up christains the catholic church shd change failure to which we are doomed

  11. Anzanga Mbewe was chased as priest in the catholic church becoz of lust for women&misconduct.He stayed as a nonety for a long time until the opportunity of milingo came in.He supported milingo when he got marrried to a moonist.When milingo went back into church & was embraced by beloved late Pope John Paul II (MHSIP)Anzanga was also apologised to the zed catholic becoz he thought since milingo has gone back he wont get any money from him.Now milingo went AWOL for the second time,Anzanga finds op

  12. cont’d finds an oppornity to milk milingo’s money, hence the formation of the organisation. Anzanga is an opportunist who wont anyway with his so called church.

  13. i dont think u have any moral right to tell me that i shd get behind satan but u mr anonymous shd get behind satan.the catholic church has lived under pretence for a long time so its time that u pipo realised that u better start becoming reliogious and not follow sectoral beliefs that are satanic in nature..catholic church pls get to tell the truth to ur members the celibacy thing is evil

  14. #15 Mukus, you know nothing about catholic church so just shut and dont talk about what u nothing about. If you think staying single for the sake of CHRIST is evil, then you are more evil than Satan himself and I say again here as Jesus will say, IN JESUS NAME GET BEHIND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SATAN.

  15. is the name “Catholic Church” covered by trademark protection or is it a generic word used for a particular faith ?? Both camps are going about all of this the wrong way !!!
