Last I checked, there was no such title as the greatest priest. I really wonder what motivates this kind of questions. I suppose that if these men of God were pursuing their private ventures and businesses, it would be okay to assess them this way. It is questions and attitutes like this, that tempt some of our priests to desire to impress people.
I am by no means saying that our priests should not do their best in their minstry, but we should not try to assess them by using languages such as greatest or titles that seem to suggest that they are pursuing their agenda.
I also see that most of the responses focus on the priest that apparently are blessed with some gift of healing or working miracles. My fellow Catholics, we honestly need to reexamine our relationship with God. Is the gift of healing the only spiritual gift? Is working miracles only limited to curing illnesses. I always wonder what role the economic situation in our country has to play in this. When people can easily walk into a hospital and receive adequate treatment, I would be interested to know what people's reaction to miracles will be.
Let no one think that I am against miracles, for we experience it everyday, even the ones that seem impossible. What I am against, is limiting a priests ministry to miracles and if he does not perform on, he is not great. What about those early missionaries who braved the harsh weather and poverty, to bring us the good news, build schools, establish hospitals and thought us how to govern ourselves, were these not miracles? What about the priests today, who are engaged in social justice, pastoral care for people and priests who are enduring hardships for the sake of the gospesl, are they not great also? Perhaprs our minds are not into these kinds of ministry, so we would normally limit ourselves to those who are famous for the healing minstry.
Above all that I have said, I would love us to know that in the priesthood of Christ, there is nothing like the greatest priest, because Our Lord Jesus Himself is the high priest and the priests are only carrying out his mission. Thanks.

The Bishops have spoken and given their contribution. Sometimes I wonder why people only see what the want to see and hear what we hear. After prayerful reflection, the Bishops have given many thoughts on the Nigerian situation and as a final note, they ask us to look up to God as the ultimate helper. Why Then should a person think it is appropriate to isolate just a portion of thier statement and the criticise, instead of looking at the whole idea. Just a point to note as we analyse and access thing.
