A pope of the Legio Maria movement has been accused
of eloping with three women.
Pope Romanus Ongombe of the Legio Maria movement
in Got Kwer, Migori County in Kenya, was said to have
taken a married woman and two other single ones with
him while he ran away.
His elopement was brought to public knowledge by the
church’s head of administration, Cardinal Samson
Arogo, who maintained that the pope had indeed
committed the atrocity.

Denying the allegations, the pope said:
“I have moved up the ranks from a padre, to bishop then
cardinal, and now I am the pope. Everyone knows that I
never engaged in such conducts. I am a pope installed by
God.”
He went on to say that God sent him the three women
to help him construct the tomb of their movement’s
founder, Messiah Melkio Ondeto, who died 26 years
ago.

He said the tomb has been in that incomplete state for
several years because people keep embezzling the
funds allocated for it. He went ahead to issue a note of
warning to rumour mongers, saying:
“To those peddling such propaganda, I will not tolerate idle
talk next time. You will face God, not me.”
