Religion Politics and Cults in East Africa is the first major original and extensive research-based study of the apocalyptic and doomsday Catholic Marian Movement and its Benedictine monastic moral and religious practices including vows of poverty celibacy obedience daily contemplation in silence and hard work. The Marian Movement is presented within the cultural historical political and religious context of the East African Revival Movement the Anglican Balokole Movement Alice Lakwena's Holy Spirit Movement Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and other religio-political liberation movements including the Maji Maji the Mau Mau and Nyabingi Liberation Movement. The Marian Movement was locally known as «Abanyabugoto» and «The Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God». It began in 1989 as a Catholic women's Marian devotional and moral reformation movement founded and headed by Keledonia Mwerinde. Faced with African cultural patriarchy andmale-dominated Catholic Church hierarchy Mwerinde recruited Joseph Kibwetere and the Rev. Fr. Dominic Kataribabo to serve as the public face of the Marian Movement. In response to Catholic hierarchy's opposition and persecution Fr. Kataribabo designed a theology of ritual sacrifice atonement and martyrdoms for the devout Marian Catholics who were devotees of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He martyred the Marian devotees in March 2000 in order to transform them into Mary's saints and to liberate their souls and send them to heaven where they would instantly attain eternal life lasting peace and happiness.
