CAMEROON'S BISHOPS DESERT THE PEOPLE FOR PAUL BIYA

In spite of the glaring fact that Paul Biya has regularly been stealing elections in Cameroon, Cameroon's Roman Catholic Bishops, who lead the biggest denomination in the country, have largely been silent. Their latest conspiracy with the Biya regime is their call on the people to accept the current stolen election in the name of a false peace. One would have thought that these bishops should know that peace is not simply the absence of war, even as ordinary people die of want. These bishops, who should have known better, have decided to stand on the side of power instead of being followers of the Christ who cares for the neglected people of society. It is amazing what power and wealth would do even to bishop. If bishops cannot denounce such a massive and blatant theft orchestrated by Paul Biya, I wonder what they preach to their flocks on Sundays. It is a shame when bishops prey on the ignorance of their flock rather than helping them to stand up for their human rights.
