Case Study from the year 2020 in the subject Theology - Practical Theology, grade: 1,0, Kwame Nkrumah University, language: English, abstract: This satirical article examines the case of the fictitious suspension of a Catholic priest, John Mwanyenga of Kabuchende parish in Ulufyengo archdiocese in the fictional country of Zambezia. Its main characters are all fictitious and any similarity to actual historical persons and places are purely coincidental designed to explore in depth the use of hard power in the Catholic Church. The aim of the article is to shine a spotlight on a too often occurrence in the Catholic Church in the relationship between priests and bishop which involves a miscarriage of justice. This issue is closely linked with the secretive and archaic method of appointing Catholic bishops destined to lead Catholic dioceses.
