CAPE TOWN, South Africa (CNS) – Excommunicated Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo is not drawing the crowds that he used to in his home city of Lusaka, Zambia, a church official said.

“As archbishop (of Lusaka) he could fill a football stadium, but now he is easily able to use the conference room of the motel he is staying in to hold his healing ceremonies. That tells the story,” Father Joe Komakoma, general secretary of the Zambia Episcopal Conference, said in a June 3 telephone interview with Catholic News Service from the Zambian capital, Lusaka.

While “the media is still fascinated by him,” Archbishop Milingo “is largely ignored by Zambian Catholics now that he is no longer a member of the church,” Father Komakoma said.

The rest is here:

I am glad the people of Zambia are aware of the situation. Abp. Milingo still needs our prayers.

Yes, agreed. He brought such scandal to the region. It’s a great blessing that most Zambian Catholics have not followed him out of the Church.
