APA-Lusaka (Zambia) Zambia’s controversial Roman Catholic Church archbishop Emmanuel Milingo, who has been defrocked (dismissed) from the church’s leadership after years of controversial actions, on Friday demanded that the Vatican should pay him his pension for the years he served the church.

The controversial church leader was first ex-communicated from the church in 2006 after he shocked the establishment by marrying a Korean woman in a mass ceremony conducted by the Unification Church also known as the Moonies.

Although he later reconciled with the church, he again broke ranks by beginning to ordain married men as priests against the doctrine of the church, leading to his ex-communication.
