Editor, I think Bishop Smaragde Mbonyintege of the Diocese of Kabgayi is right: Those Christians from the Roman Catholic Church, who committed crimes during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, did so as individuals – not in the name of the Church.
Editor, I think Bishop Smaragde Mbonyintege of the Diocese of Kabgayi is right: Those Christians from the Roman Catholic Church, who committed crimes during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, did so as individuals – not in the name of the Church.Therefore, they should be brought to justice and be held accountable for their acts, and punished accordingly if found guilty.The Roman Catholic Church, as an institution, has been preaching love and peace, but unfortunately some of its followers conspired in committing the Genocide. Those who are found guilty should apologise and seek forgiveness, thus contributing to the national effort in search for unity and reconciliation.
