Newly elected ZCCB president Bishop George Lungu said the Catholic Church had a moral responsibility of ensuring that the conference preached what it believed was its mandate from Jesus Christ.
Bishop Lungu who is also Chipata Diocese Bishop says ZCCB will continue being the voice of the poor at all times.
“Safeguarding of human rights is also the core business of the conference because human rights are non-negotiable,” said bishop lungu
“Am requesting for forgiveness from the church were the bishops sounded divided or perceived as such,” he said
Bishop Lungu has since pledged the conference’s resolve to remain unified.
