Father Lucian: Inside the Matrix

Whatever I’m about to tell you is entirely true about Father Lucian, a renowned Ugandan Catholic clergyman, and the saga and scandal that unfolded around him.

Lucian Mugisha grew up like many other African boys, a devout Christian who embraced his faith and aspired to follow its traditional path.

He hailed from the outskirts of Kabale municipality. A beloved lad he was, handsome and charming, attracting all kinds of creatures. Even the local animals seemed drawn to him, a gesture natural of him.

His dream was always the same, to become a doctor someday and have a wonderful descent family of his own. He poured his heart into his studies, working hard to allow it, unwavering in his focus and ambition.

His family, however, had other plans for him. His grandmother, determined to see a clergy member in the family for the first time, insisted he attend seminary school. Lucian, ever sceptical, resisted, clinging to his medical aspirations.

But in those times and places, parental authority was never challenged. Out of respect and fear of disappointing his family, Lucian reluctantly agreed.

He soon found himself at Kabale International Catholic Seminary. The initial semesters were a struggle as he adjusted to this new reality.

Despite the challenges, Lucian remained a well-liked and respected student, consistently excelling in his studies. He eventually found solace in the knowledge that he could pursue his childhood dream, study medicine even after seminary, and become a medical priest.

One fateful day while researching for an assignment in the library, Lucian stumbled upon a discovery that would forever alter his perspective about the said holy church. The secrets and conspiracies of the Catholic church unfolded before him, igniting a deep innate curiosity, and the scepticism that had long simmered beneath the surface.

Vigilant he became since then, and his faith began to waver as he reached deeper, deviating toward defiance. All along, the sceptic young he had had doubts in his church and faith His former Biology classes challenged his religious beliefs, offering explanations for the origin of life and humans that conflicted with the doctrines of his faith. The theories of evolution and the 

Out of Africa theory were more realistic resonating far more than the creation stories in the Bible that man originated from a one Adam and Eve. He regarded the latter a fantasy.

He learned about the controversial notion that Christianity was introduced to Africa as a tool for division and control. Well-documented accounts exposed the harsh realities of early Christian doctrines and their treatment of his ancestors.

The seminary itself became a place of revelation, where the hidden truths of his faith were gradually unveiled. The Book of Magdalene disturbed his mind compelling him to even dig deeper. 

He discovered that his baptismal name, Lucian, was rooted in old Latin relating to ‘bringer of light’. He realized such names were used to divide Africans with each religion and denomination using its distinct names, yet nowhere in the bible it is mentioned Africans to be nailed European names. 

The church hypocritically condemned African native names pagan, but then he witnessed a very example from the book, his master priests baptising a young girl ‘Diana’ a pure pagan Roman goddess name, that would never fit a Christian child. As if that was not enough, the girl’s African name was ‘Kawamala’, after their background African god spirit Wamala. Everything seemed untrue, the girl stayed grateful for both names! This further solidified his doubts hence fuelling his growing disillusionment. 

Lucian, now a curious scholar, formed a circle of sceptics among his like-minded friends. Together, they embarked on a quest for truth, challenging the legitimacy of Adamism. They came to view these beliefs as mere pagan myths and fantasies, far less credible than the indigenous African faiths and traditions.

The world around them became a revelation of reality. The Catholic Church’s celibacy requirement was mentioned nowhere in the bible but an invention of man that denied them the truth of life. Their calendars were full of paganism – names of days and months derived from European gods like Jannus and Thor and everyone seemed comfortable blinding an eye on it –because it was all the same, Christianity been always an incorporation of European paganism! How in the name of truth and reality would the said adamic biblical god create the seven days and named them after the antagonist seven gods? And sometimes, they could wonder in silence if their African doctrines someday be highlighted in Christianity.

Soon they found it –evidence their African traditional practices co-existed with Christianity. They found accounts of Christians consulting traditional healers and spirits, incorporating African pagan names during baptisms, and even clergy figures publicly endorsed these practices. 

One top priest was gratefully named Wamala, and he could acknowledge and bow to his traditional king who indeed harboured and advocated for the flourishing of traditional paganism. The common sentiment would go, “For as long as one believed in the blessed son, all was safe.”

The history of their church they found was painted with unbelievable darkest evil. The church they argued was one top organ that caused massive human suffering for a trail of ages. From its formation and colonization to the Middle Ages crusades and human enslavements and decivilization in Africa and the contemporary sparking and complicity in wars and conflicts throughout the globe, all inflicted unbearable suffering on the victims. The common sentiment would go, “You can’t deny the wrath of our god.” Lucian would say thoughtfully, “Of course, the same god burnt cities and annihilated the entire humanity.”

Thoroughly scrutinizing the bible, they discovered to their astonishment that the book they’d regarded holy and sworn to defend was nothing, never divinely inspired but a fiction, a fantasy that evolved alongside human civilization. One of his colleagues, Wasswa, discovered it first and shared it among the members.

From the first word throughout the first pages, the Bible talked nothing but contradictory fictions about a malevolent super deity Yahweh of Israel, his alleged blessed son Jesus Christ, and human suffering and their craving for peace. The texts in the Bible they discovered were written by anonymous incompetent authors, they were but a collection of ancient paganism edited and bound together.    

Many things they discovered that laid out how pagan their church was. How it vehemently embraced and advocated for the unnatural LBTQS and nailed most African sexual norms such as polygamy pagans blew their minds. Yes, it wouldn’t break them considering the info they’d gathered so far, but did anyway. 

They could sit behind and laugh at how the unenlightened fellow monks, priests and believers tried in vain to disobey, refuse and rebel against the recent implementations by their top church… almost every African Christian regarded it unfair and unnatural to embrace and engage in the acts that defied their natural and traditional sexual norms of heterosexuality and polygamy. They all faithfully observed Christian doctrines but prioritised their traditional customs over them.

Fuelled by these convictions, Lucian formed a group of thirteen students working underground within the seminary. They established their doctrines and rules, permitting, for example, sexual rights among members – a symbolic initiation rite into their group. Unnatural acts had never infected their society, but in any case, it was ruled a banishment regardless of the costs.  

Graduation day arrived. The grand ordination ceremony was massive, attended by a huge congregation. The bishop consecrated them full-fledged clergy members, holy enough to act on behalf of the holy church. All the thirteen members of the Lucian group passed out. In the clergy attires they looked smart devout shepherds of the lord of Israel, but inside harboured a hidden agenda – to dismantle the Churches from within.
