Rev. Fr. Anthony Musaala has hinted to his ardent followers that he will be retiring from the vocation of priesthood. This follows his indefinite suspension that has now gone to two years without any completed investigations.
Father Musaala was suspended after he played the role of the reformer aka Martin Luther King. At the time, there were sodomy accusations going on in the church and Father Musaala revealed that he had witnessed many sacrilegious acts happening in the church including Priests defiling young altar boys and even revealed that one revered bishop had a child with the woman who used to clean the bishop quarters.
In his statement to BigEyeug, Father Musaala revealed;
“I was never a ”model” priest , though some may think so. I dont think I could stand in the ranks of Msg Ngobya or even our beloved Cardinal Wamala, who are unimpeachable. If I was ever a priest at all, it was by what i would call an ”accidental grace” . Priesthood is not a possession to desperately cling to, but a gift. You receive the gift of priesthood so you can give it back to others completely. This I tried to do until it was no longer possible…My indefinite suspension after two years, looks as indefinite as ever. So be it. Lets pray for another gift from God’s rich store, who knows, it might exceed that of a priesthood which for twenty years, kept me sort of focused. Priesthood and I my have to part ways…in the nicest possible way of course. Early retirement rather than resignation is what seems to be in the offing. And if Popes can retire well……”
We are waiting to see the outcome of his decision, hoping the church will fast track his investigations before he throws in the towel.
