	Urgent: Zimbabwe Archbishop Charged with Adultery By Sarah Pollak Christian Broadcasting Network July 17, 2007 http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/196609.aspx While on my lunch break, I was checking out headlines on my cell phone when I saw this story about Zimbabwe's Roman Catholic Archbishop Pius Ncube being named in an adultery case. This is particularly disconcerting since I've been closely following Ncube's bold stand against the tyrannical regime of President Robert Mugabe. Ncube has been one of the men leading the charge for change in Zimbabwe. He has even said in the past that he was willing to die to see his country free of persecution. I've seen reports where Ncube has denied having a relationship with the woman and others where he has refused to say either way. One thing is for certain, the Mugabe government would love to see Ncube go down in flames. Character assassination is always a possibility. They've tried it before. They will, I am sure, try it again. To me, Ncube's reaction to all of this has been strange. He really hasn't said very much, but he has talked about a key doctrine of the church being "forgiveness when there was weakness." Hmmm… Uh, oh. Ncube said in a recent interview with the Associated Press… "I will not answer this question concerning my private life…yes, I did take a vow. There are a whole lot of other circumstances that take place in a person's life. I would not be able to answer those items." Double uh, oh. Government officials say they have the video of Ncube getting in bed with a woman. Yikes! I sincerely hope that when the truth is brought to light that these allegations are found to be not true. It would be so sad to see someone so brave be discredited, brought down by his own "weakness." Pray for the truth to be discovered. Repentance and restoration, if need be…or justice and vindication, if that is needed. Either way, pray that relief, freedom and revival would come to the people of Zimbabwe. Make sure to check out my other blog posting today about Tintin in the Congo. I'd love to know what you think!
