The catholic church has the right to pull out of CAN for wateva reason they deem fit,but dat doesn't dispute d fact dat CAN under d leadership of Oritsejafor has taken bold steps,challenged statosquo,expanded frontiers in an attempt to make Nigeria a truly secular state.The truth of d matter is dat ,at dis critical stage of insecurity motivated by religious differences in d country,Oritsejafor unequivocally is d best man for d job.He demonstrates d courage and charisma to look in d face of any big wig.His approach may not please everybody,but certainly he is making impact.I think d catholic church should try to embrace change for once.

What do you mean secular when the country is being flooded with churches , mosques and prayer houses and the Presidential address to the nation is now from the church pulpit? With Oritsejafor as the presidential advisor on religious affairs and CAN as the religious wing of the PDP , the country is doomed - and that includes all of us. The Catholics are right , we want to see some more orthodox churches calling this man Ayo to order or quitting CAN.

I highly give it to the non christians esp muslims that refuse to comment on this thread or derail it. However, the opposite would be the case if it was a topic of vice versa. Kudos for maintaining tolerance on this forum.

Tell the olodo abeg. he needs visa to travel out and see beyond their village

that is best idea , can is a polical partly

On matters of style, I flow like the river, on matters of principle I stand firm like a rock (**Thomas Jefferson, I believe).

Today it may be stylish to be identified with prosperous gatherings in the name of Christianity, with vociferous postulations from any odd bible.
Faith is not an item of fashion, even though a lot of people have been misled to think it is. So for me and my entire household, we shall serve the Lord in spirit and in truth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, the son of God. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins... I believe in life everlasting.
Lord we pray to you to strengthen our faith.

KweenAdz: Mtscheeeeeew..Who cares?!Catholic no be church before nah..Catholic na cult..So,dey can pull out and practice dir cultism and trash effectively...But seriously,true christian dnt care!May God help dem..

@KweenAdz
Enlighten me, please define a cult.

FOLLOWING rumours in some quarters that the Catholic Bishop Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has pulled out of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the Director Communication, Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, Rev. Fr. Raulph Madu, has refuted the claim.

In an interview with The Guardian, Madu maintained that the CBCN did not pull out of CAN, and that the body was only trying to sought out some issues with the national Christian body.

He mentioned that the body only withdrew temporarily from CAN, which will only last for few weeks, adding that there was no squabble between the two religious body.

Madu, who did not disclose the issues, said: “How can we pull out of CAN, we are just trying to iron out some issues with them, which are not palatable to us and it’s only going to last for few weeks”

We will always be in support of the national body; some of our bishops are heading CAN in some states,” he added.

Look at this man, U left us to Sin against God with 12 pages of foolish and unchristian talk only for you 2 come out nd tell us of "few weeks" stuff. Or is it becoz the elction is around d corner again? Well, I leave U with God... Tank God Muslims exist; at least weve not been able to notice d great division among Christians. What will it be if Nigeria was completely Christian? May b we will be burning our Churches and killing our priest and pastors.. God Forbid..

Young and very foolish,i wish I could create time to educate you,am not a fan of ayo or d catholic but am a xtian and strongly believe d words of our lord Jesus that a house divided against itself cannot stand. d persons you claim onaikan defeated are not frm d penticostal church.your bishop of sokoto was almost a personal aid to abacha.ayo surpoting the subsidy removal means he is wise unlike your bishops that sat on d fence.Gej is a xtian and what is wrong with him fratanising wit menbers of his religion.Gej sent high power delegation to rome to support onaikan when he was made a cadinal
.catholics should lead by example and stop behaving like bunch of envious kids.shalom son.

aryzgreat:

yea just as onaiyekan defeated AKinola and Sunday Mbang to become CAN president on 2 occasions. And No d church didn't create disunity, it made its position known to CAN leadership in Nov and Dec but D tyrant ignored and never addressed d issues they raised, Dats a failure of leadership by Ayo. No body is against Ayo being close to president but he should not sell his birthright on d altar of partisan politics. Cardinal Okogie and onaiyekan have always been close to any govt by d virtue of their positions in d church hierachy but that has not stopped them from voicing out against d govt when d masses are oppressed.

Do u know dat during the last susbidy protest, Pastor Ayo was on TV defending subsidy? I think u sound more foolish dan me bro.

Shalom

you must have cancer of d brain and am sorry for you.

Roman Catholic Church is built on idol worship and deceit. Let them leave CAN with their homosexual bishops and Fathers. Nonsense.

@ seyi360, you have spoken well.

To be candid, Catholic Church is the only church in Nigeria cannot be bought over by any government, others are running family enterprises.

Catholic brothers a word of advice am not criticizing here but opening your eyes, the Bible says thou shall not worship any god except the Almighty God. You should not worship any idol and place anything first except God. Yet you worship and praise Mary. Mary only had the opportunity to give birth to Jesus shes not the only virgin in isreal. So please lets know who we serve And stop worshipping or giving glory to Mary the only one who the glory is meant for is Jesus Christ. A word is enough for the wise. Cast away all the carvings of Mary and Jesus you have they are mere idol and pray to the one living God up in heaven. Demons have possessed all this carvings and making you believe you worship our saviour Jesus. God help us all.

Hogwash! The Catholic Church has made it clear that we Catholics do not worship Mother Mary. And you dare accuse us of idol worship? You Protestant swines should face your commercial houses and business centres disguised as churches and tackle the rot there-in before trying to 'correct' the wrongs in the Catholic Church. Catholicism is very different from Protestantism so it's very normal for you to find difficulty understanding the doctrines of the Mother church. But for you to come spewing accusations of Idol worship, et al, is not acceptable. Remove the log in your eyes before trying to remove the spec in someone's!
