I am Catholic and I supported @FrankGashumba on his challenge.
As usual, you have gotten this all wrong. We did not say that Catholicism is the best. Even in the Catholic Church, we have sects that we disagree with.
To settle this. If I said that Father Bashobora has never raised anyone from the dead, would you agree or would you still insist.
It is not a religious faction dispute. It is a crusade against false prophets and those who fabricate scams to line their pockets.
There is a pentecostal I was debating the scripture regarding tithe. Upon seeing the glaring truth in the scripture regarding Tithe, he barked back saying that we Catholics worship Idles. I told him that fine we worship idols and requested that we go back to our discussion in tithe. The fellow smirked and ran away. 😂
Without donations, I am genuinely curious how this was funded.
This connects to a debate I was having recently about whether anyone, however competent, can deliver real change by working through our current system.
Someone pushed back and gave the example of Solomon Serwanjja in Bamutakudde. My point was that Solomon is working around the system rather than through it, using his own networks and influence. And that is the part that worries me for a government office like LC1. The goal should be to reform the system so it delivers for residents on its own, so that the next LC1 after Solomon, most likely someone without his contacts or his reach, inherits a structure that keeps working for the people regardless.
Of course, this takes nothing away from Solomon. A man who decides to do something rather than wait for the system to to fix itself is admirable, full stop.
So when Erycom says Buyala was lit without a single donation, I am genuinely curious to understand how. I hope he did not simply fund it out of his own pocket, because as admirable as that would be, it is the same trap.
A village lit by one man's money stays lit only for as long as that one man is the LC1 chairperson. Proper service, as my years in rural development have taught me, is building something that outlives you so even when you are not around, it keeps working.
@emmaus_trevor Apostle indirectly explained pilgrimage and sacramentals that exist in the Catholic Church, am glad people are slowly going back to church tradition.
Hitting the road without a driving licence is like going to the garden without a hoe !
The law requires every driver to have their driving licence available at all times while driving. Where you do not have the physical licence, you should at least have its details, such as the licence number to facilitate verification by the officers.
Where a driver is unable to produce it when requested, the law provides for its production within 72 hours.

Today am at Rubaga Cathedral for the very first time.
I got to seat right next to the Alter and also take the second reading as we prayed for all departed souls on ALL SOULS DAY.
@UgandaFuneral organised this.
AI has made life very easy in many ways, and we need to learn and utilise it more. What we should be keen to prevent though, is the rise of a society where people can no longer think critically on their own - where almost all thinking needs are outsourced to AI (cognitive offloading). When that happens, even where there is need for critical thinking where AI can’t be used, we will be totally incapacitated as Zombies.
Imagine producing a society, where in the event of a prolonged power blackout, people can’t use their heads to go about life! Can’t write a letter, can’t find directions, can’t draw with their hands, can’t diagnose disease, can’t analyse a family or social problem, can’t write a poem, … Above everything else for humans is the necessity of the ability to think critically. Or else, those who think will take over managing us.
Much as AI presents many opportunities in education, it is becoming a nuisance among lazy university students! Unfortunately many teachers haven’t caught up yet with the technology and associated mischief. Much of it passes undetected, with no learning happening. AI essays, AI proposals, AI dissertations, AI drawings, AI diagnoses…
One of the greatest Catholic evangelizers America has ever seen, Scott Walker Hahn, celebrates his 69th birthday today. This man, whose son Jeremiah is a Catholic priest, has influenced thousands of people to convert to Catholicism.
Chinese books are so good. I started reading this book at 4PM, just going to bed right now. The author discusses God and gods, why we are here, why we suffer. She even dives into strategy of war witb quotes from Sunzi. The book is perfect for me. Let me sleep kko now.
