Mwenge ni ibada za kishetani hauna mafungamano na ukristo wala uislam ndio maana nasikia mwenge unapolala kuna kuwa na ngono sana.
Unatakiwa kutuletea ushahidi kutoka biblia takatifu na si ushahidi wa kuokoteza. Mwenge ni ibada ya CCM kwa ajili ya kuwapumbaza wananchi wasiwe na ufahamu wanaibiwa rasilimali zao kama dhdhabu, almasi, gasi ........

Hayo niliyoyaandika sikuyafikiria tu kichwani mwangu, na nimekueleza kwenye bandiko langu soma kuhusu "sanctuary lamp". Ni ibada inayofanyika ndani ya makanisa mengi tu, na la Kikatoliki ni moja wapo.
Sasa kama ni ibada ya Kishetani, inabidi wewe ufikirie mara mbili, jee kwanini ifanyike kwenye kanisa? Na pia inabidi uje na maelezo na hoja ya kuijibu post namba moja ya mleta mada. Umeisoma vizuri?
Utueleze, sisi kama wa Tanzania, huu mwenge una maana gani? wa nini, unaashiria nini? kama si ibada ya Kishetani?

In the
Old Testament God commanded that a lamp filled with the purest oil of olives should always burn in the Tabernacle of the Testimony without the veil (
Exodus 27:20, 21). The
Church prescribes that at least one lamp should continually burn before the tabernacle (Rit. Rom. iv, 6), not only as an ornament of the altar, but for the purpose of worship. It is also a mark of
honour. It is to remind the faithful of the presence of
Christ, and is a profession of their
love and affection. Mystically it signifies
Christ, for by this material light He is represented who is the "true light which enlighteneth every man" (
John 1:9). If the resources of the church permit, it is the rule of the Caerem. Episc. (1, xii. 17) that more than one light should burn before the altar of the
Blessed Sacrament, but always in uneven numbers, i.e. three, five, seven, or more. The lamp is usually suspended before the tabernacle by means of a chain or rope, and it should hang sufficiently high and removed from the altar-steps to cause no inconvenience to those who are engaged in the sanctuary. It may also be suspended from, or placed in a bracket at the side of the altar, provided always it be in front of the altar within the sanctuary proper (Cong. Sac. Rit., 2 June, 1883). The altar-lamp may be made of any kind of metal, and of any shape or form. According to the opinion of reputable
theologians, it would be a serious neglect, involving grave
sin, to leave the altar of the
Blessed Sacrament without this light for any protracted length of time, such as a day or several nights (St. Lig., VI, 248). For symbolical reasons olive oil is prescribed for the lamp burning before the altar of the
Blessed Sacrament, for it is a symbol of purity, peace, and godliness. Since pure olive oil, without any admixture, causes some inconvenience in the average American climate, oil containing between 60 and 65 per cent of pure olive oil is supposed to be legitimate material. Where olive oil cannot be had, it is allowed, at the discretion of the ordinary, to use other, and as far as possible vegetable, oils (Cong. Sac. Rit., 9 July, 1864). In case of necessity, that is, in very poor churches, or where it is practically impossible to procure olive or vegetable oils, the ordinary, according to the general opinion of
theologians, would be justified to authorize the use of petroleum. We are of the opinion, however, that there are but few
parishes that can claim this exemption on the plea of poverty. Gas (Ephem. Lit., IX, 176, 1895) and electric lights (Cong. Sac. Rit., 4 June, 1895) are not allowed in its stead. The Caerem. Episc. (ibid.) would have three lights burn continually before the
high altar, and one light before the other altars, at least during Mass and
Vespers. Before the
Blessed Sacrament, wherever kept, a lamp should be constantly burning. Our
bishops have the power of granting permission to a
priest, under certain circumstances, to keep the
Blessed Sacrament in his house. In such cases, by virtue of Faculty, n. 24, Form. I, the
priest may keep it without a light, if otherwise it would be exposed to the danger of irreverence or sacrilege. For the same reason we believe It may be kept also in the church without a light during the night.
