As far as his action was under the pulpit then it nullifies whatever intent he may have had.
Using the threat of denying communion is never the way.
Christ that we say we serve never put any obstacles in our way before healing anyone or blessing anyone or saving anyone.

That is my point.

People neglecting politics is an entirely different matter.

I still insist that there are better ways of passing the message of getting to vote than threatening withdrawal of communion. For instance sensitization could be carried out in various groups within the church like youth wing, men and women's fellowships etc. Spread the word there and make the congregation see logical reason to vote.

Issuing threats from the pulpits gives a coloration of partisanship for neutral observers which does not speak well of the clergy.

You're over reacting... The threat too important until he carries out the action, he may have said it to show his seriousness on ensure his member participate in politics. Yes, other better means exist like you mentioned but again the issue of politics has disempowered the common citizen. All pastors should quit the idea of separating politics and Christianity instead they should start preaching how christain should see politics from the angle of Christianity.

look at this down syndrome man exonerating himself from the class of imbeciles he belong to


how can a MOG intimidate his church member with their spiritual rites just to sound as a patriot or politically correct. very dumb thing

your uncultured manner show your level of reasoning. Like I said before you're irredeemable by any man. only God can help you.

surevik:
Haha! Too late, this would have been done during registration, how will you own a PVC when you never registered and how can you register when registration is over?

God Bless You.

Only one tribe take this ELECTION as do or die,because CORRUPTION is in their blood group.EASY winning for SAI BABA.

Lol.

If you think I'm overreacting then that's your opinion.

It is still wrong to threaten people with denial of worship rites, whatever you may say.

Apart from the fact that he’s very partisan, there is no biblical reference to deny church members holy communion because of pvc. At this rate, PDP pastors will start telling their members that no more prayers without pvc. Mixing religion with partisan politics will never end well. Leaders of the other religions are watching. They can also politicize their message.

stop acting this way... You bluntly avoid answering my question and again how was PDP mentioned here. Did the news says he told his member to vote PDP. The statement that killings has increased, is it not true?.
As much as his action maybe wrong does it mean telling his member to carry out their civil responsibility is wrong?

Also the threat that he will not give communion is only a threat until he carries out the action. The over-reaction and insult is uncalled for.

Utter bollocks, it concerns me not anyway. I feel sad for those who need the communion but will be denied due to circumstances beyond their control. Politics and religion don't mix like phallus meji ninu pabo kan. My people should use their brain, its not rocket science.

Spiritual Understanding is key to draw Light from Scripture.

Simply, Go to your house and take your own communion. There were no special bread or drink Jesus used for communion with his disciples. He simply took from the drink and bread they where eating and serving on the table

So u can use even biscuits and soft drink for communion at home as long as u blessed it

God bless us

hmmm

very soon now without PVC person no go fit enta heaven

Well said. Every sane Nigerian — except zombies — must leave no stone unturned to send the lifeless one, a chronic nepotist and tribal bigot, back to his cows in Daura. Let's all purge every spirit of lifelessness, of Buharism (hardship) from Nigeria!

layzie:
I think this is wrong in all ramifications

So he should not remind the faithfuls to go vote out the blood sucking demon and Futa Jallon terrorist who waged a holy war against christians for the past 3 years plus?

kolafolabi:
Reverend Father Kwaggas Matthew is ATIKULATED

lol hilarious

Imohowo99:
Man of God don carry d tinz of God wit politic....Light and darkness cn nt joint 2 gether....unles d agress

Religions and Politics are Siamese twins.

But banning people without PVC from taking is ungodly, the pastor should persuade and not compel them

......and who says you can't take Comunion in your Living room?

Ategberoson:



just listen to yourself. you're talking about church law and at the same time exonerating the man mindset speech


you made a statement as what exactly and that's my QST? are you his church member or you were there when he made his speech? what would the church member do if he insist on no PVC, no communion?

Read my previous post. My parish priest made such comment last week. He said dont come to church without pvc and if u find your way inside the church without pvc then no communion...everybody started laughing.

Its just a way to encourage people to vote.

No priest on earth not even the pope can deny you communion because of pvc

Ategberoson:



are you his spokeswoman or the church mouthpiece?

how you people think you can talk on peoples behalf here is really comical.

a man of God endorsing a politician at the detriment of intimidating his church members spiritual rites and all you could say is to be speaking on his behalf. now go and read the content again

All these bloggers sometimes blow things out of proportion

Rev father oya come take ur share of national cake olosho!

KidsNEXTdoor:


Reason before you talk..

Vote out evil administration that promotes hunger and blood shed.... Get involved in politics

Are you implying that the Catholic Church is forcing their members to vote against Buhari? Please confirm this.

OhiOfIhima:
Father! This is myopic idea. Can you tell us where it was stated in Bible Sir. We should try and separate Religion from politics. It is highly ungodly.

Foolish questions!!!
Can you state in bible where it said you must eat food, after all the bible said man can not live by food alone. Ike nsi

OhiOfIhima:
Father! This is myopic idea. Can you tell us where it was stated in Bible Sir. We should try and separate Religion from politics. It is highly ungodly.

It is the decision taken by Parish Council Committee of St Matthew Catholic Kubwa

elhafeez:
They have taken the matter to church. There is plot to chritianize Nigeria.

Come on!
I want to assume that's sarcasm....we all know the truth!

AnanseK:
I have PVC but I will not help in bringing the looters back. I will not help in resuscitation of Boko Haram by returning PDP to loot the security fund. I will not vote for those who promised to sell Nigeria to themselves. I will not vote for those with immoral lifestyles condemned by God himself. I will not vote for criminals. It is 4+4 . We are moving to the next level.

No problem, but no sane Nigerian will join you to vote for a jihadist bigot who is bent on opening up the country's borders to his foreign demonic kinsmen whose favourite pastime is murder and pillage.

It's not by force to receive communion...

No force involved anywhere

Another rogue pastor on the loose. Where is it in the Bible that you must come with your pvc before partaking in the holy communion?

Christianity has really gone to the dogs. It’s either pastors are using the pulpit to defraud members or supporting crooked politicians for selfish reasons. Sadly, so many sheeples are still following them.

What’s even the benefit of eating bread without yeast and drinking zobo without sugar? The pastor can shove the poo down his crooked ass.

You are the rogue here. So until he campaigns for dementia afflicted bigot of a god that you will concede that he also has a right to hold an opinion on who to vote?

The priest was even encouraging people to vote for a candidate of their choice.

The guy is ATIKULATED already

Nice development

Rogersmith:

Politics is not darkness the characters are.

my brother bring an angel from heaven to do politics, that angel will be corrupt.

Point of correction, he might use it to preach doesn't mean he will deny lay faithful Holy Communion because of PVC. lol. Nah. Priest won't do that. The person that wrote this news was at the Mass and he knew the priest was making a point but he the carrier transmitted the info wrongly. Like my Priest today said, "if you love your country and the poor and the dying around you, get your PVC and vote."
The message/homily for today in the Church is 'Love' as St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians...
So don't think a Priest will do such.
Happy New week.
