A Chitungwiza Roman Catholic priest was on Sunday locked
outside the church’s premises by the angry congregants accusing him of poor
administration.
Father Maxmillian Karombo of St Theresa Parish in
Chitungwiza is at loggerheads with his congregants over a host of
maladministration issues.
On the day in question Fr Karombo had to go over the gate
so that he conducts a mass service inside the building. The parishioners are accusing the man of cloth for his
misconduct and violation of church’s principles.
Fr Karombo took aim at some individuals accusing them of
having agendas against him. “I had to climb over the gate in order to lead the
Mass to fulfil my obligation of celebrating Sunday Mass as a Priest.
“I was locked out by certain individuals. Failure to attend
Mass would have landed me in trouble with my superiors. The time I got inside
to celebrate Mass, the rest of church members were in jubilation and I was
unharmed. Everything went on well,” he said.
He said St Theresa parishioners had a tendency of uprising
against an assigned priest especially the period when the Bishop makes changes.
