The Catholic faith is like the military.
Even if you wish to leave the military u have to get the ok from ur CO before u leave else it will treated as AWOL and subject to court martial and dishonorable discharge.

Same way the Catholic Priest has to wait for the Pope's ok before his resignation is final.

The Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Uyo His grace, Bishop John Ayah has finally reacted to the resignation of charismatic radio evangelist and founder of the Grace Family, Rev. Fr. Patrick Henry Edet from the clergy of the Catholic Church. Bishop Ayah announced the withdrawal of all privileges and dissociates the Catholic Church from the activities of Rev Fr. Edet as he forbade all Catholics from associating with him.

Rev Dr John Ayah, in the release which was read at St Patrick Catholic College, Afaha Inang ,Uyo and other parishes, implies that, any Catholic who attends his programs does so at his/her own risk while awaiting official reaction from the Pope Francis.

The Catholic Bishop of Uyo Diocese, Rev Dr John Ayah's message is dated 12 August, 2017.

A catechist of the Church said, all the comments on social media about the matter are misplaced and misleading as they don't know the gravity of the matter. You don't just quit the Priesthood of Catholic church like that.

His words, "Let those who make useless comments on social media continue,the Catholic church is a church guided by discipline and no form of rebellion of any kind shall be entertained. Even when Barr Enoidem resigned his appointment as a commissioner to contest election as legal adviser of PDP, he later returned to the cabinet because of course his resignation letter was rejected by his boss, Governor Udom Emmanuel and he returned to the cabinet until others were dissolved. So until the Pope accepts his resignation letter, he remains Rev. Fr. Patrick Edet. That is the cross he is bound to carry ,after all, he took an oath to serve the church perpetual", the catechist said.

I am not a catholic but the Roman Catholic Church is the church which everybody is sure of that being business oriented. They have their flaws but greed and pride have taken over the priesthood and it members. Martin Luther King senior, started this rebellion now we have thousands of churches scattered all over the world with little souls winning to Christ.

hardywaltz:


Shut up and face front
U don't always have to comment

Ngene44:
were do you worship? Hope it is not a business center? What makes you feel u will make heaven than the Catholics. Church will nt safe any body but ur faith in Christ Jesus

etenyong:
Is it by force to be a priest? Can't someone resign in peace? Is it by force to continue been a priest? The man had resigned and he can't come back whether pope approved it or not, he is a free man now.

NoToPile:
Serve the church perpetual? I thought it was a service to God.

brunofarad:
To become a priest is not by force
He has every right to resign if he thinks he can't keep to his vows as a Catholic priest.
Rather than constituting nuisance.

Maybe u dont know the meaning of vow

FortuneTeller:
This sounds like a dangerous cult. The former Rev. Father should get security in case these religious fanatics try to kill him.

UDIOK:
Most reverend, with due respect Christianity is not a cult group where once you took an oath you cannot pull out but a body of Christ....nobody is meant to to serve perpetually...he is at liberty to pull out if he is so wish.....that's why we are Christians no need to make the body of Christ look like a cult group. thank you.
