sakaguchi: I have gone through your posts, and this is my contribution. 1. It is wrong to generalize on the whole of Nigeria/society; by the actions/inaction of one or a few individuals. 2. If all you've said is right (and I really do not have reason to doubt), your priest is surely overdoing things. 3. There is always a tendency for one to be off the mark due to the attractions of materialism. 4. You can make a petition to a higher authority, with evidence. 5. Catholic Teaching is what the Church teaches, which is available to all, and not what the priest says. (even the pope can be challenged if he teaches contrary)Remember It is only in certain few occasions that the pope cannot err. 6. Priests presently are under pressure from several parishioners, to collect tithes from them...so a priest can make it optional, for there is nothing wrong in giving to God. 7. The church does not eradicate a good culture, we and the scriptural Jews are similar in offering thanksgiving at the end of the harvest season...even before the advent of Christianity, this culture is good and indeed scriptural, the church encourages it. 8. Good practices do not need to start from Rome, the church is universal, she adopts good things God has initiated through his people, no matter the location. 9. We must however be careful as well not to justify our "stinginess" to God...and to man. Remember it is our duty to help build the church and sustain our priests. 10. The manner finance is sort after in our churches, is really becoming a cause for concern, but we need to use the appropriate channel to complain and seek change, when you use non appropriate channels to talk about faults even on an individual, it is called slander. God bless. 2 Likes |
