Pope Romanus Ongombe of the Legion Maria sect has denied allegations from one of the sect’s cardinals that he eloped with a married woman.
Cardinal Samson Arogo, the Head of Administration of the church headquartered at Got Kwer, Migori County, claimed that his pope eloped with three women.
Pope Ongombe denied the allegations, explaining that, “I have moved up the ranks from a padre, to bishop then cardinal, and now I am the pope. Everyone knows that I never engaged in such conducts. I am a pope installed by God.”
He said that the women he is said to have eloped with were brought to Got Kwer by God as well-wishers to help the church finish constructing the tomb of the sect’s founder, Messiah Melkio Ondeto, who died 26 years ago.
“To those peddling such propaganda, be assured that I will not tolerate idle talk next time. You will face God, not me,” warned the ‘pope,’ adding that the said woman will accomplish her mission, because several harambees that were held in the past did not accomplish much, and that there were even allegations of embezzlement.
