The archbishop of Kampala archdiocese,Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga has proposed that the tithe should be directly imposed on people’s monthly salaries.

During a mass at Rubaga cathedral, the archbishop condemned Christians’ actions of dodging the tithe yet its an obligation and not an option.

Dr. Kizito is ready to table the proposal before president Yoweri Museveni if supported by the catholics.

“Give me your support as I front this proposal because it is good for us. Aren’t you tired of putting money in a basket all the time?” he posed

He added that most of the believers who pay the tithe do not follow proper biblical guidelines of deducting 10% of their total earnings but only throw a few coins in the basket.

“Whenever we ask for tithe, everyone gives what they have at that time. But the Bible says a tenth of whatever you earn belongs to the church,” Archbishop Cyprian said

UPC President Olara Otunu

Kampala Arch-Bishop Cyprian Kiizito Lwanga is quoted in the media blaming the ushers for failing to advice Otunu not to take part in the Holy Communion during the Easter mass at Lubaga Cathedral because he is a protestant.

Otunu says he is all inclusive Christian and doesn’t believe in denomination within the Christian church.

The UPC party president further says his name Olara means given through salvation and he believes he can benefit from any salvation practices of Christian churches.

The Catholic Church only allows Catholics who “are ready” to receive holy communion to participate in the Eucharist sacrament. Not every catholic can take part in holy communion though, as one must have finalised some basic teaching in the church and not be engaged in anything the church considers sinful. For example, a man and women who stay together and enjoy sexual relations when not married in the church are not allowed to receive Holy communion.
