  Archbishop Milingo
Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo feels that he is an apostle called to bring married priests back to full service in the church due to the current priest shortage and the need to bring the Eucharist to every Catholic.
Milingo, who was made a bishop by Pope Paul VI in 1969 at the age of 39, has long been a thorn in the side of church authorities because of his controversial practice of mass exorcism ceremonies.
Milingo rejected fears, frequently voiced in Rome, that if he were ever to fall back under the spell of Moon, the charismatic 76-year-old Zambian prelate might lead a breakaway congregation in Africa offering a married priesthood and drawing on traditional African religious practices, especially healing and the casting out of demons.

Milingo’s apology last week to the people of Zambia related to his behaviour during the past three years — behaviour that revealed him to be a mixture of Casanova, John Wesley, Popeye and the Prisoner of Zenda.
Milingo called his efforts a ‘mission of healing faith’, and there were the usual anecdotes about the lame seeing and the blind walking and the legless vaulting over five-bar gates, but none of this cut much ice with Rome, and Milingo was called to the Holy See for some spiritual realignment.
Milingo himself gives several reasons — one that he was ‘hoodwinked’ into it, another that the Reverend Moon told him he could continue his ‘mission of healing faith’ among the Moonies only if he agreed to marry one of them.
