Saint of the Day
for June 3
(d. between
November 15, 1885 – January 27, 1887)
Saint Charles Lwanga and Companions’ Story
One of 22 Ugandan martyrs, Charles Lwanga is the patron of youth and
Catholic action in most of tropical Africa. He protected his fellow pages, aged
13 to 30, from the homosexual demands of the Bagandan ruler, Mwanga, and
encouraged and instructed them in the Catholic faith during their imprisonment
for refusing the ruler’s demands.
Charles first learned of Christ’s teachings from two retainers in the
court of Chief Mawulugungu. While a catechumen, he entered the royal household
as assistant to Joseph Mukaso, head of the court pages.
On the night of Mukaso’s martyrdom for encouraging the African youths to
resist Mwanga, Charles requested and received baptism. Imprisoned with his
friends, Charles’s courage and belief in God inspired them to remain chaste and
faithful.
For his own unwillingness to submit to the immoral acts and his efforts
to safeguard the faith of his friends, Charles was burned to death at Namugongo
on June 3, 1886, by Mwanga’s order.
When Pope Paul VI canonized these 22 martyrs on October 18, 1964, he
also made reference to the Anglican pages martyred for the same reason.
“I’ll see your ‘Wakanda!’ and raise you a ‘KATONDA!'” The Feast of St Charles Lwanga, Martyr – A saint we can all take pride in!
“Katonda!”
This year today is in the Vetus Ordo calendar Ember Friday in the Octave of Penance. However, it is also the Feast of St. Charles Lwanga. That said, because of the decree Cum sanctissima we can now celebrate St. Lwanga using the 1962 on days when it is not some feast that would outweigh it.
Here is what I posted on St. Charles in the past.
If you don’t know this saint, be sure to read it. It is powerful.
As “Pride” month continues…
Today is the feast of St. Charles Lwanga and companions, murder victims and martyrs of homosexual depravity.
Today we might also contemplate the various ways in which the State is encroaches in our lives in this regard and tries to force us to do things that are repugnant to nature and to God’s laws.
Today we should especially ask God to forgive and convert all those who in any way have contributed to or succumbed to any aspect of what is rightly called toxic “gender theory” and called demonic, due to its origin.
More on that HERE and HERE and HERE.
Today is the feast day of a saint, who died as a martyr especially because he resisted a sodomite king, who was furious that he and many children wouldn’t have homosexual sex with him.
St. Charles Lwanga and many other martyrs died between 1885 and 1887 in Uganda. They were beatified in 1920 and canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1964.
In 1879 the White Fathers were working successfully as missionaries in Uganda. They were, at first well received by King Mutesa.
Then there came a new pharaoh, as it were.
Mutesa died and his son, Mwanga, took over. He was a ritual pedophile.
Charles Lwanga, a 25 year old man who was a catechist, forcefully protected boys in his charge from the king’s sodomite advances.
The king had murdered an Anglican Bishop and tried to get his page, who was protected by Joseph Mukasa, later beheaded for his trouble. On the night of the martyrdom of Joseph Mukasa, Lwanga and other pages sought out the White Fathers for baptism. Some 100 catechumens were baptized.
A few months later, King Mwanga ordered all the pages to be questioned to find out if they were being catechized. 15 Christians 13 and 25 identified themselves. When the King asked them if they were willing to keep their faith, They answered in unison, “Until death!”
They were bound together and force marched for 2 days to Namugongo where they were to be burned at the stake. On the way, Matthias Kalemba, one of the eldest boys, exclaimed, “God will rescue me. But you will not see how he does it, because he will take my soul and leave you only my body.” He was cut to pieces and left him by the road.
When they reached Nanugongo, they were kept tied together for seven days while the executioners prepared the wood for the fire.
On 3 June 1886 (that year the Feast of the Ascension… therefore a Thursday), Charles Lwanga was separated from the others and burned at the stake. The executioners burnt his feet until only the charred stumps remained. He survived. His tormentors promised that they would let him go if he renounced his Faith. Charles refused saying, “You are burning me, but it is as if you are pouring water over my body.” They set him on fire.
As flames engulfed him he said in a loud voice, “Katonda! – My God!”
“Katonda!” … Better than “Wakanda!”
His companions were also burned together the same day. They prayed and sang hymns.
Charles Lwanga and companions died for their Faith and because they resisted the intrinsically evil of homosexual sex.

Charles Lwanga, pray for us!
Katonda!
Thanks to the Great Roman™. Here are a couple of shots of the canonization
We had a meeting concerning you yesterday in Harris & Hoole. I shall be reporting on this soon Detterling.

Do you SERIOUSLY imagine that I will take any notice whatsoever the "findings" of a "meeting" of your imaginary "friends" , you pompous, self-basting shit? You are having delusions of adequacy again, never a good idea.
ReplyDeleteDon't be like that Detterling. We are genuinely concerned about you. Something has seriously gone wrong with a person who could write this:
Delete"If homosexuality is God given, how can expressing that sexuality consensually be sinful?"
Fuck off. You are concerned about no-one but yourself. This pretence of concern for anyone else is as hollow as your pretensions to Christian belief. It is as bogus as your claims to being a “full time professional writer” (sic). And there is someone very very far wrong with someone who has not published a word in SEVEN YEARS of “full time professional writing” (sic) but who nevertheless claims to be about to publish a novel he began TWELVE YEARS ago which is still fewer than 2,000 words long. Psychosis not far short of certifiable.
ReplyDelete"...your categorisation of homosexuality as a sin is more nonsense, given that sexuality is something people are born with - ie, it is God-given. It follows the expressing that God given nature in action cannot be sinful"
ReplyDeleteWhat about someone who can write this Detterling? Moronic, public bar theology.
Not biting, Gene.
ReplyDeleteDetters be assured we all have your best interests at heart. In fact we prayed for you at Harris & Hoole on Friday.
ReplyDeleteDetters have you read Clive James' Cultural Amnesia? I've just got around to reading it. It's superb.
ReplyDeleteWhat is WRONG with you?
ReplyDeleteWhat is so hard to understand about F-U-C-K O-F-F?
You are concerned about no-one but yourself. This pretence of concern for anyone else is as hollow as your pretensions to Christian belief.

More than that, your boot-licking arse-kissing attempts at trying to start a discussion with me actually make me feel rather sick. The idea that the pissy little opinions of a shallow simpleton like you about a giant intellect like Clive James actually matter to anyone is typical Gene - a man so pretentious and ignorant he doesn't know how big a fool his posturing makes him seem. There again, now that you have caught up with Cultural Amnesia fifteen years after its publication [you were too busy striking attitudes as a "full time professional writer", no doubt] no doubt we can expect to see ineptly plagiarised extracts in this pile-of-shite blog soon. So much for your posing as an intellectual - you are about as intellectual as a toilet seat.
Now, fuck off.
Sorry, that should read
F - U - C - K 0 - F - F.
Got that?
"...no doubt we can expect to see ineptly plagiarised extracts"
ReplyDeleteNot plagiarised but creatively used quotations. Yes, I have no doubt you will see them.
Fuck off.
Delete"shallow simpleton like you"
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this constitutes a libel against Oxford University? It de facto claims that Oxford awards degrees to shallow simpletons. I suggest Oxford University seeks legal opinion here.
Fuck off
ReplyDeleteSorry - I should have said “fuck off, you stupid bugger.”
