Kampala — CARDINAL Emmanuel Wamala has challenged women to fight vices such as divorce, abortion, using contraceptives and euthanasia.
He said God entrusted women with the future of humanity.
"Life is being threatened by false doctrines. One front is through contraceptives, abortions and euthanasia, under the cover of scientific development and economic progress," Wamala said.
"The second area is the family where divorce and separation are being sang under the guise of women's emancipation.
"The third front is through the church. Christ founded one church and not many but we have torn the church into tatters and we are responsible for this state of affairs.
This is a challenge to you women since the responsibility of saving humanity was entrusted to you by God," Wamala said. Wamala was on Saturday at Trinity College Nabbingo during their celebration of 60 years of existence (1942-2002) under the theme Educating Girls, an Abundant Harvest.
The guest of honour, the Nnabagereka of Buganda Sylvia Nagginda, commended the Government for making girl education a priority.
"Every year that a girl is in school is an advancing stage towards poverty eradication and prevention of HIV/AIDS and other STDs," she said. Ends
