Kampala Archbishop Paul Ssemogerere has warned newly ordained priests in Uganda to avoid clericalism. He cautioned against prioritizing status, recognition, and personal honor within their roles. The Archbishop urged the new priests to focus on selfless service to both God and the wider community of believers. Clericalism, as defined in the context, involves a pursuit of personal gain over spiritual dedication. This warning highlights concerns within the Catholic Church regarding potential abuses of power and a disconnect from the people they serve. Ssemogerere’s message emphasizes a return to humble, dedicated ministry for the newly ordained.
