Being a priest is really tough and makes them mostly confused,

They JOIN the seminary due to parental influence when THE flesh hasn't been conquered and end up being regular men wearing cassocks...

They become habitual drinkers due to constant consumption of the communion wine,
get turned on/aroused listening to sexual confessions,

They are expected to be celibate, but they end up molesting male mass servers and married women
because
the profession forces them to be who they really aren't.

Body no be fire wood....ask Bisola. undecided

Just the other day, we saw one preaching with an automatic rifle.



I feel you need to think carefully before you post, if you fail to recognise that it takes one man to err then you should expedite your search for knowledge.

As a start, kindly read @Slurryeye's post.

a half-baked, semi-literate and most ignorant anti-Christ.

You know nothing about the Roman Catholic Church.

Lol. At your age, you don't even know what is idol worship?

Those demons you worshiped may have plucked out all the senses left in that thick skull of yours. Olodo.

You're yet to understand the link between Catholics and traditional worshipers. Though they may differs in certain ways, but one thing unite and bind them together. And what is it? Idol worship!

I tell you, both of them do 'honor' their fathers and mothers very well.

have you forgotten what the bible said abt Jesus and the tax collector? and Jesus told them that he has not come to for the Christians but he has come to save the sinners

he came to the sinners to save them ba? yes. not to show them that what they are doing is good by joining them.after dancing with them he will leave without changing the man, the next year he will join the masquerade again unlike Jesus that will change the man. let's stop pampering truth

jesus used that means to preach to them. but the father will not even preach to them. and come to think that is one of the members of the church. if it is a worldly man outside the church then I may accept that he probably came close to change them. but these people have been doing that for years and yet he can't tell them.i can't because I belong to Catholic Church and defend anything. I am not sentimental.to tell you one father even wanted to approach me for sex.God help us

I am a Muslim who went to Catholic school. I shake my head for your ignorance. I also shake my bumbum for your stupidity. The earliest Christians were Catholics, these are the people that compiled the Bible. Protestants came out of Catholics while Pentecostals came out of Protestants. Without Catholics there wouldn't have been Protestants nor Pentecostals. So, if you do not believe in Catholism, then go and establish your own religion because definitely you are not a Christian. Leave Christianity for Catholics and go form your own religion.

I love this

I will tell you all why I love this. Apart from the fact that this shows huge religion tolerance between the priest and the traditionalists (trust me, we need religion tolerance in Nigeria and Africa as a whole), it also show identification with indigenous religion.
Why is identification with indigenous religion important for us in Africa? It is important in order to emancipate ourselves from mental and spiritual slavery. Until we emancipate ourselves from these slavery, we will continue to remain backward among all races.

Hear me out.
An arab man believes that an Arab looking man called Mohammad was a prophet from their supreme God
A caucasian man believes that a man called Jesus is the only son of God. Though he was born in middle east, they have altered things, and they have shown us that he had blonde hair and blue eyes (caucasian looking)
A chinese man believes that a chinese looking man called buddha is their God
A jewish man believes that jewish looking men like David, moses etc. were prophets from their supreme God
An indian man believes in indian looking being such as Vishnu, Devi, Shiva etc. as their deities

But we Africans continue fighting and killing ourselves over who is more genuine between a caucasian religion and an arabic religion. Meanwhile, we have tagged deities and gods looking like us as evil and doomed

What does this implies? Owing that we are mostly Christians and Muslims in Nigeria and Africa as a whole, what this implies is that we have mentally and spiritually believe we are inferior to the arabs and caucasians since the messenger of God and son of God we believe in are Arab and Caucasian looking respectively.

Do I imply we should leave Christianity and Islam? I'm not saying so, all what I'm saying is that we shouldn't condemn our traditions and indigenous religions, instead, we should find a way to eliminate awkward and barbaric believes in our indigenous traditions/religions, we should have more tolerance for others belief and religion, and we should believe more in our black skin and black abilities. Until we do these, we will continue to remain backward because we have serious identity crisis
i like your post. you don't get to see lots of reasonable people online these days. i think i am in love with you.

But China, Japan, India, Korea etc are worshiping Idol yet they are recognized in the world, say what you know. I am not a religion fanatic but our problem is psychological more of mental slavery.

Wake up from your slumber my friend. Those countries you mentioned are still practicing about 95% of that now. But when was the last time you pour libation to the diety your parents worshiped? Are you not now in the church claiming you are born again when in fact you are not? Tell the truth don't you go to church? So you abandoned the idol worship of your parents and now embraced Christianity which you are not committed to. Tell me why the diety will not attack you since you are standing in between idol worship and Christianity. Remember the most dangerous place to stand is to stand in between. It is either you worship God or the Idols of your fore-parents. Think about this!

Ordinarily, masquerades are not associated with Christianity, because they come from two different traditions. However, they sometimes meet, as happened in St Paul's Catholic Seminary, Ukpo, Anambra State sometimes ago, causing consternation among some. A Facebook user was perplexed about this phenomenon, and he reacted angrily. He writes,

"This is happening now at ukpor Nnewi they call it St Paul feast..... A Rev father following masquerade choooooiiiii aru emmeee. Please Guys is this right or wrong I know that some blind folks here will start defending them."

My good friend....ensure u gather enough facts before reporting to d mass. I used to be a strong partaker of dat cultural dance. We call it IZUOGU Cultural Dance in those days. The dance has never and will never be associated with rituals or juju. The dance is usually displayed to public on every Cultural Week and St Paul's feast days, annually. Apart from IZUOGU dance, there are several other cultural dances being displayed by Seminarians viz: Igba umuogaranya, Ufie, Ugo na achomma, etc.... It's just a Seminary or Priestly way of promoting and reviving our culture and tradition...

and who said he will leave them after dancing? stop taking decision on their behalf and don't judge for their grace might be stronger than yours ... he has a purpose for doing such and that purpose will affect those masquerade dancers positively.
