Mr Edeth, you are not the first priest to resign from The Church and you can't be the last. Your arrogance to the authority is what led you out. The church is structured in humility and obedience, whoever that lacks this, can't be a leader. You are not greater than Fr. Mbaka and can't be greater than other priests with special grace that are still under the authority of their Bishops.


BTW, none forced you to be a priest, if not for anything, appreciate the church that gave you a ladder.

Catholic traditionsssss


Do you know the menajng of tradition at all? It means constitution. And constitutions are instructions/ways of life laid down by church authorities for church members to follow. At times, it will be from the scriptures; at other times, it will be from inspiration.

Do you think your church doesn't have a tradition/ doctrine/constitution/instructions? If you don't know, then you have a very big problem. And do you think all those instructions given in your church would be derived from the scriptures? No! Some will be derived from the scriptures and some from inspiration, and some from your GO's personal opinion

Do you think every thing apostle Paul said was received as instructions from heaven? No; some of the things he said are also from personal opinions and inspirations.

Take for example in the redeemed church; pastor adeboye said girls in his church must not marry a man without a Job or living with his parents. Is that kind of instruction related to the bible? No. He got it from inspiration and personal opinion.

So if other churches have instructions/doctrines/constitutions/traditions that are not in line with the Bible, why do you guys only focus on the Catholic church and leave other churches out? Aren't yyou hypocritical?

There are other priests that wants to leave too. If the church is not careful more priests will leave before the end of this year. The Catholic Church no more pay attention to its people and priests, the church now pay attention to more money and the priests pay attention to luxury. There are still many more priests like Rev. Edet that is nursing that same idea. We pray for our priests and religious that God will make them more holy and know the essence of their calling through Christ our Lord.

Hold up....the Priests pay attention to luxury?? If there's one thing I know about the Priesthood, it's that Luxury is NOT a priority. EVERY priest I've known, from the Junior Serminary to the various Parishes, lives a modest life. I'm not saying that all are angels, but compared to a considerable number of pastors & other clergymen I think the Catholic Priesthood is doing quite well when it comes to modesty.

I can see why the guy left, my guess is that you some type of God, who had already weighed and measured this guy's ministry and concluded not only that, he is less than some other ministers, but can't be greater than those ministers.

You are truly full or your arrogant self. You are not God who called him, it is only a fool who opens his/her mouth and utter things they know nothing about.

The Apostles were not under any type of organized religion. The major problem we have in the world today is organized religion. Religion or been religious does nobody any good and does not take anyone to heaven. The only organized religion in the Bible akin to the one you mentioned to which, you indicated that, this guy should submit to are the Scribes & Pharisees in the Bible...And I guess you know what Jesus told them!

These are the seven Curses Jesus placed on them:

1. They taught about God but did not love God — they did not enter the kingdom of heaven themselves, nor did they let others enter.(Matt 23:14)

2. They preached God but converted people to dead religion, thus making those converts twice as much sons of hell as they themselves were. (Matt 23:15)

3. They taught that an oath sworn by the temple or altar was not binding, but that if sworn by the gold ornamentation of the temple, or by a sacrificial gift on the altar, it was binding. The gold and gifts, however, were not sacred in themselves as the temple and altar were, but derived a measure of lesser sacredness by being connected to the temple or altar. The teachers and Pharisees worshiped at the temple and offered sacrifices at the altar because they knew that the temple and altar were sacred. How then could they deny oath-binding value to what was truly sacred and accord it to objects of trivial and derived sacredness? (Matt 23:16-22)

4. They taught the law but did not practice some of the most important parts of the law — justice, mercy, faithfulness to God. They obeyed the minutiae of the law such as tithing spices but not the weightier matters of the law. (Matt 23:23-24)

5. They presented an appearance of being 'clean' (self-restrained, not involved in carnal matters), yet they were dirty inside: they seethed with hidden worldly desires, carnality. They were full of greed and self-indulgence. (Matt 23:25-26)

6. They exhibited themselves as righteous on account of being scrupulous keepers of the law, but were in fact not righteous: their mask of righteousness hid a secret inner world of ungodly thoughts and feelings. They were full of wickedness. They were like whitewashed tombs, beautiful on the outside, but full of dead men's bones. (Matt 23:27-28)

7. They professed a high regard for the dead prophets of old, and claimed that they would never have persecuted and murdered prophets, when in fact they were cut from the same cloth as the persecutors and murderers: they too had murderous blood in their veins (This "woe" foreshadows the Pharisees' eventual condemnation of Jesus himself, as well.) (Matt 23:29-36)

I never did like catholic churches, they bear too much resemblance with ancient religions and practises. and I can quote a 1001 verses in the bible that proves my point. But who am I to judge? congrats to the Edet man

You just judged the Catholic Church. It's not like your own denomination is any holier with it's superstar pastors who buy private jets and luxury cars with your tithes. Hallelujah.

Did you even take your time to read what he said and Digest ? Though I am not a Priest, but I have been of the same opinion as him for a very long time. I was born and raised a Catholic and was so in Love with the Catholic church as a Teenager that my Friends use to call me "Father" When I travelled out of Nigeria, I started Researching everything. I had access to so many info and materials that I never had in Nigeria. I want to know for Myself and not what anyone told me so I Researched the Catholic church, Jehovah Witness, Mormon, a bit of Islam, Hindu, Buddhist....etc

As a Christian I found out CHRIST has just ONE Church (A group of believers in God through him) Man created the different denominations and not Christ. So I no longer believe in that. I can now worship and fellowship with any Gathering where the Pure Gospel of Christ is Preached be it Anglican, Pentecostal or Catholic. Things that are not in tune with the Gospel of Christ, I reject and don't accept it and only concentrate on the teachings of Christ and not man made laws that keeps us in Bondage. Christ has given us Free DIRECT access to God through him and that's all we need. I understand this Priest very much! May God continue to minister to him. No Christian should feel like they are in Bondage and no Christian should be in LOVE with their DENOMINATION but rather we make God and his Christ our center of attraction. Bless

Heaven is not dependent on the church domination where u worship.

Making heaven is all about your personal relationship with Christ.

I'm Catholic, but I don't recall bowing down/ worshipping Mary and the Saints of old. But hey, please do tell us where this is stated in our doctrine.

I sure as hell don't know of any instance where it is demanded by the church for parishioners, especially the poor, to offer alms to excape purgatory. I know the usual church offerings after the sermons, payment of monthly tithes, and contributions to charity groups like St. Vincent De Paul (for the less privileged) or other church projects. Oh btw, they are NOT COMPULSORY. But hey do tell us more about this "compulsory purgatory contribution", oh yes expert on the "evil" Catholic Church.

You mean you left the more important thing he said to manufacture your own.... He said...As a priest, a box is built for you to fit into and any attempt to know God beyond the prescribed one brings you in direct conflict with the catholic church ...

Calm down I say. I was born into a Catholic home. Baptised, went for catechism classes to start receiving holy communion, also got confirmed by Bishop Ignatius Kaigama, the then bishop of the state I was residing in. Joined Legion of Mary. But God had mercy on me even in my ignorance and hatred for anything non-catholic. God birthed me again. Do you know a Christian is one who must be born the second time?

Do you know that the saints who died in Christ and were Godly on earth before they died are NOT DEAD? Yes, they are FULLY ALIVE in heaven and they are watching everything happening on earth. So, only a man devoid of knowledge will say Mary and the saints are dead.

Do you ever ask your earthly pastor to pray for you? Do you know that your earthly pastor is subject to like passion as yourself? Do you know these saints in heaven, who are also fully alive, can speak to God on your behalf? If you don't know, then you haven't been fellowshipping with your Bible, but you have subjected and limited your christian kmwledge to hearsays and what your pastor tells you, forgetting that pastors are not perfect preachers.

If you condemn catholics for making images, then you can start condeming God for asking the isrealites to make image of snake in the wilderness (SNAKE of all animals in the world!) He also commanded them to look up at the snake before they can get healing from snake bite. He expressly stated that "whoever look up to the snake (graven image) shall be healed."

Doesn't your church collect money from both the rich and the poor? where did your churches get money to buy personal jet for GOs if not from money contributed by the poor widows in your church? I challenge you to give an answer.

Don't you call your GO God's representative on earth? The other day when apostle Suleiman was accused of adultery, were you not ready to lay down your lives to defend him? Don't you all In your churches see your GOs as God's representatives on earth
I challenge you to deny this.

You clearly aren't walking in liberty; you are walking in poverty of knowledge and ignorance of the truth.

Since you aren't affiliated to any church, according to you, why the focus on Catholic church? Why would you single out God's church for condemnation, while leaving other churches that are not different in any way from the Catholic church? Aren't you a hypocrite?
