The Vice President of Sudan Catholic Bishops Conference (SCBC) Rt Rev Erkolano Lodu Tombe has warned that assigning uncommitted priests to the seminary would do more harm than good.
According to reports aired by Radio Easter the Catholic Bishops in their meeting last month in Rome, Italy encouraged putting only committed spiritual teachers to the seminary because the uncommitted ones would be a waste of resources.
Bishop Lodu added that the Conference also stressed on the need to provide refresher trainings to the local priests and sisters for better service.
The Vice President encourages priests and sisters to continue serving God’s people and the church in South Sudan and Sudan despite challenges.
Meanwhile the Auxiliary Bishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Juba cautioned South Sudanese against the rampant killings in the country.
Bishop Santo Loku Pio wondered why South Sudanese as brothers and sisters of the same country take up guns to destroy their own villages, Radio Bakhita reports.
Be reminded that it is not good and it is unacceptable, Bishop Loku said.
The Bishop said that those who committed atrocities against their brothers and sisters are already guilty and condemned. He noted that killing each other has no gain and that people should think twice before committing any act of violence.
