Saurimo, 01 April, 2024 / 7:57 pm (ACI Africa).
The period of Easter provides Christians an opportunity to deal with structures that contribute to sin and evil, Archbishop José Manuel Imbamba of the Catholic Archdiocese of Saurimo in Angola has said.
In his homily during Easter Sunday mass at Our Lady of Assumption Cathedral of his Metropolitan See, Archbishop Imbamba faulted the tendency, on the part of some people, to compete with God in some fight for supremacy.
“Man who assumes himself to be God, man who wants to pretend to be God, man who, because of his culture, thinks that he can already be equal to God brings about his own downfall, his own death,” he said.
Easter, the Angolan Catholic Archbishop said, “encourages us to break down these barriers of sin, to break down these structures of evil, the structures of injustice, the structures of sin, the structures that imprison human freedom, the beauty of human life, the beauty of our faith, the beauty of our witness.”
The Local Ordinary of Saurimo Archdiocese, who doubles as the President of the Bishops' Conference of Angola and São Tomé and Príncipe (CEAST) highlighted some of the factors behind the supremacy battles, saying, “The world of robotics, the world of technology, the world of culture, the world of cybernetics is killing the nobility of humanity.”
