"TakeCourageInYourFaith"SaysPrelate

TliEheadoftheCatholicHierarchyinUgandahasappealedtotheCatholic peopletoplayanactiveroleinshapingthefutureofthenationandtoavoid insultingtheirpoliticalopponents.

ArchbishopJosephKiwanuka,W.F.,ofRubaga,issuedalongpastoralletter dealingwiththepolitical situationinthisBritishEast AfricanProtectoratewhich isscheduledtobecomeselfgoverningnextMarch1.

TheriseofCatholicsto influentialpositionsin Ugandahasbroughtwithit attacksandmistreatmentof Catholicsbytheiropponents, hesaid.Hetoldhispeople totake"courageinyour Faith."

TheArchbishop-whoon hisconsecrationbyPope PiusXIIin1939becamethe firstAfrican-bornNegro bishopofmoderntimes-issuedthestatementonthe eveofanextensivetripto EuropeandtheUnited States.

TheArchbishopconcentratedhisattentiononthe politicalsituationinBuganda,theprovincefrom whichthecountrytakesits name.Bugandatraditionally hasbeengovernedbya king,theKabaka,whoin recenttimeshasgenerally beenaProtestant.The Kabakahasreignedasa constitutionalmonarchsince 1955.UndertheLondon agreementoflastOctober9, whichprovidedforfull self-governmentinUganda nextMarch,andforindependenceonOctober9,1962, Bugandaistohavelegislaturechosenbypopular suffrage.

ArchbishopKiwanukanoted inhispastoralthatCatholics havebeengainingpolitical influence.Theyconstitute closeto30percentof Uganda'ssixandahalfmillionpeople.TheArchbishop

citedcurrentpropaganda campaignstoconvincethe peoplethattheintroduction ofdemocracyandopposition partiesisdisloyaltothe Kabaka.

Inthisconnection,hesaid thatsomeofBuganda's peoplehadsoughtinparticulartoimputedisloyaltyto theDemocraticparty,end handsingledoutitsCatholic membersforattack.The reason,hesaid,isafear thatCatholicswillemerge andfindaplaceintheruling bodyofthecountry.

FreedomOfVote

Thereisnothingwrong withjoiningapoliticalparty orwithregisteringandvoting,hesaid.Headdedthere isnoreasonwhyaCatholic shouldnotseekpublicoffice:

"InBuganda,aswellasin Uganda,thereisnoestablishedchurchnorstatereligionwhichhasamonopoly overthegovernment.Some mighthavebeenmisledin thepastaboutthisandit evencauseddivisions,whilst infactweshouldallstruggletogethertobringourcountrytomaturityandtohelp ittoprogress."

ArchbishopKiwanukasaid hehadearlierpassedoff reportsofinsultsandmistreatmentofCatholicsinthe currentpoilticalsituationas mereexaggerations.Buthe himselfhadbeensubjected toabuse,hesaid,andthus hadtoacknowledgeincreasinganti-Catholicsentiments.

"SinceIamyourleader, giventoyoubyGodtoguide youandto'strengthenyouin justice,"hesaid,"Irealise thatIcannotremainsilent whileIforeseethedanger forsomeofyoutolose courageinyourFaith."

Theprelateassertedthat

religionisindispensableto goodgovernment.Hesaid thereforethatthatthose whowanttoeliminatereligionfrompoliticsandfrom educationmustbeconsidereddangeroustothe welfareofUganda.His statementurgedCatholics tokeepopenmindsconcerningpoliticalmatters,and aboveallnottoaccept bribes.

Declaringthatavoter mustchooseonlythosecandidateswhoareworthyand abletoruleproperly,the Archbishoplistedthefollowingqualitiesasrequisites:thefearofGod;high

moralcharacter;clearsightednessandabilityto makeusefulandjustlaws; unselfishness,andunwaveringalertnessinthefaceof problems,especiallythose arisinginthisperiodof transition.

ArchbishopKiwanukasaid thatinsultsandcalumnies onlybringtrouble."Therefore,whateverpoliticalparty yousupport,youCatholics mustabsolutelyavoidthose twofaults,"hesaid. Heclosedbystating: "TrustinGod.HaverecoursetoHisMother.They willnotforsakeUgandanor Buganda."
