Fr Thedeus was talking about the benefits of Christianity to his Tanzanian Culture today. He told me about a local tribe who had a custom of
honoring a dead king by placing his dead body on a rack suspended over a fire to dry the body out to preserve it and the body was placed over a goat being cooked for the mourners to eat. If that was not bad enough a beautiful woman was found in the tribe bound a tied and buried alive with the king. He told of a Missionary Priest who called the police when this was about to happen and saved the womans life.
He is very appreciative of the benefits Christianiy has brought to this country.
