A government is elected by the people, for the people and of the people.
It must be given the opportunity to rule and make decisions. The President, by not belonging to ONE particular and powerful church, doesn’t make him impotent and target of derision by opposing every decision the government embarks on.
Making or amending a Constitution is part of the decision-making. It’s a democratic right that even the church, no matter how powerful, can not stop. Each organization has its own rights or flaws, which are amended from time to time. 
For example, after centuries of Vatican or Popes preaching that Mary was a “co-redeemer” with Jesus, Pope Leo has deemed it blasphemy. Only Jesus is the redeemer, as he alone, died to save mankind from sin.
This can be called an amendment, putting a question mark to infallibility.
Pope Leo has not only ended there. He has debunked church stand on home sex relationships of guys and lesbians allowed by other popes. That, too, can be classified as amendment. Only the word of God can’t be amended, but anything made by man is liable to change.
Should the church appeal to the Catholics to go into the streets of world cities to demonstrate against the decision of the Pope?
Why does Archbishop Chama desire to see chaos in Zambia? Simply because President Hakainde Hichilema is not one of their anointing? Should he, at any level of running the country, consult the church for sealing hopes in the Constitution that he feels are inimical to the proper running of the country?
Quite often, I giggle when the church is praised for its role in providing education. Anyone in Government will know, except if this has changed, that education provision is a paramount State undertaking. In Zambia, the government provides 95% resources to grant aided schools, including the so-called Convents, even paying teachers.
Sometimes, the government builds schools and them to the Church to run, as in the case of Ndola Technical Secondary School. Many parents fear to send their children to Convent schools or Ndola Tech, thinking they are funded by the Catholic Church. No. They are funded by your government from your taxes.
Sometime about 2004/5 when I was at the Ministry of Education, we were discussing the budget allocation. I was surprised when I noticed that almost 95% grants were given to church run institutions. I asked the Permanent Secretary, who agreed it was true. As I shared the table with heads from the Catholic run schools, I asked them if this was true. They agreed.Then I said things must change. How then are they reluctant to accept non Catholic pupils? Zambians don’t know this is the current state of affairs.
There must be other means, respectable and non confrontational, the Catholic prelates can use to relate with the government. Even writing to the Head of State. Certainly, calling for demonstrations must be the last solution.
Does the repossession of Icipaso and the jailing of the perpetrators hurt them so much that they wished to see the downfall of the Government of the Republic of Zambia?
God forbid!
Sometime last year or earlier, there was a letter from priests in the Archdiocese of Lusaka, which outlined the evil deeds of their leader which included abuse of authority, keeping a concubine, sent to the Pro Nuncio in Lusaka. It showed the difficulties of people living in glass houses to refrain from throwing stones. Easy does it, but being too judgmental is playing the role of God, the all-knowing, omnipotent, and omnipresent.
MAY PEACE REIGN IN ZAMBIA
GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.
