Bishop, you mentioned that there are countries where they cut off the hands of thieves.

But, take a look at what they do here, in Mozambique, when they catch a thief…

Bishop, the images are very strong.

Many consider this to be a just form of punishment.

However, we must understand that there are a lot of people out there that steal and kill. And even though they are criminals, they are scared of coming into the Church to steal. While there are many in the Church who are afraid of stealing from people outside, yet they are not afraid of robbing God.
