Fr. Kizito's Case

Yesterday and today morning my wife and I had a very difficult time watching the KTN news item on Fr. Kizito and the children from the slums of nairobi. I was particularly saddened since I have known Fr. Kizito through his newspaper articles in the nation in the days of Moi. He had come to endear himself to the kenyan population with his long running 'Fr. Kizitos diary' articles. This was the time we as Kenyans felt very vulnerable and needed a voice to talk for us.

KTN yesterday reported that the priest had gone further and given consolation to several children from challenged backgrounds and in return sexually molested a number of them. What is sickening if the news item is true is that he not only taped the actions but also invited some Italian friends of his to also sodomize these kids.

My wife suggested that this was the strongest justification yet for catholic priests to marry. I said no. why? Because that evil cannot be solved through marriage. In fact a wife is neither a sex toy nor a sex therapist. There is more to marriage than sex and in any case, I felt that Fr. Kizito's issue is not sexual deprivation but rather some kind of compulsion which requires psychiatric treatment. If it was sex alone, am sure the old man would have easily got a woman or even paid for the services of the thousands of sex workers who are reported to be in Nairobi. The sex workers are reported to charge anything between 20 bob and tens of thousands. The old man could afford that and it would be a lesser sin since it would not hurt so many young lives.

The moral question though is one, what of the good work the man has done for more than 20 years? That has a simple moral answer that is also in the form of a question. What is the value of the life of one boy? Someones son? Nay what is the value of your own life? What would you be paid to have someone violate it in your youth?

I wonder how the doctors of the church would treat this issue. of course judgement is left unto the Lord. But i wonder how the priests would look at this and the separation of the sinner from the sin given that this sinner is really a savior to thousands others.

I would like to hear your true comments on this issue and how we should understand it.

After all was said and done, attached are the pictures from the ordination, and i do not have to rewrite the story again.
