CWN Editor's Note: “We will do well to remind ourselves about the real meaning of Christmas and appreciate it and shun those behaviors and attitudes contradictory to this season’s spirit,” the president of the Southern African Catholic Bishops Conference, Bishop Sithembele Sipuka, said in his Christmas message.
He wrote, “There will be murders; crimes will be committed; many will be raped; excessive drinking and reckless driving will see road accidents shooting up; others will experiment with drugs and begin their journey into addiction; quarrels will be engaged in; there will be lawlessness and lack of consideration for others, all in the name of Christmas.”
