A number of Roman Catholic priests, nuns and religious in Zimbabwe have put themselves at extreme risk from Robert Mugabe’s thug regime to rebuke their bishops for what they see as the bishops’ cowardly silence in the face of a murderous racist dictatorship. Said the group: “There is no place for neutrality in the face of the evil which is destroying our nation. Time has run out for compromise with an evil regime. Attempts to use personal influence and persuasion have only allowed a corrupt system to consolidate its power.”
