Bishops in the country under the banner Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM) has condemned the ongoing fight between Catholics and Muslims on the social media.

In a letter released on Tuesday signed by ECM Secretary General Reverend Father Valeriano Mtseka, the Bishops have described the conduct as “very distasteful and divisive”.

“It is completely against the spirit and practice of inter-religious dialogue and peaceful co-existence of faith groups.

“The ECM wishes to condemn such utterances and messages in the strongest terms possible and completely dissociate the Catholic Church from such cowardly acts … that not only militate against national unity but also the spiritual, moral, religious and cultural values that the Catholic Church has always cherished and promoted and will continue to stand for,” reads part of the statement.
