The Ordinary of the Diocese of Kasese, Rt. Rev. Francis Aquirinus Kibira Kambale, has attributed the rising cases of domestic violence and divorce to the inappropriate use of mobile phones, alcoholism, social media, and negative peer influence that prioritizes personal pleasure over God.
Bishop Kibira described the use of mobile phones among married couples as a “ticking time bomb,” noting that excessive attention to social media deprives families of quality time for dialogue, problem-solving, and praying together.
