Comparisons can be made (without personal judgment - GOD is the Judge of all) - to scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem: "Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, “Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”— then he need not honor his father or mother.’ Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: 'These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'" - Matthew 15:1-10 23 Likes 1 Share |

You're right that sexism is still prevalent in the church and the woman is still being treated by church leaders and Christians as the cause of man's downfall despite that Jesus had redeemed her from the curse of her sin. So that's not in question. However in your own case, it's a matter of the curse of knowledge and fame etc., which is pride but the end thereof is destruction. I hope God humbles you and makes you go through things that would make you realize how far you've strayed from the Truth so you can retrace your footsteps. God bless. Modified: The above comment is about the church in general and her relationship with God not the catholic church. Felt I needed to clarify this. Thanks. 96 Likes 7 Shares |

The end is near Catholicism is a fake religion Since it gave birth to all Christianity practiced today,, It's safe to say modern Christianity is a fake religion Our Lord and savior knew this before it happened The time comes when the true believers will worship GOD in truth and in spirit Going to church doesn't guarantee you eternity Believe in God, and obey his commandments Verily I say unto you, Christianity will lead many into hell 19 Likes 4 Shares |

Not our problem please, move on with whatever reasons you have. ![]() Religion has never been human problem but lack of wisdom. No wonder God allegedly told christians that "His People perish because they lack wisdom. His people ( the reader or whoever believes ) lack wisdom to self-feed, they are been spoon-fed. What wisdom is wisdom, to discern what is right or wrong. I think I'm off point sef ![]() Na one argument with my neighbor wey 2 knw ![]() Pardon me, Drabeey was Here 9 Likes 1 Share |

These are flimsy excuses. But of a truth, the catholic church is not encouraging at all, contemporary Roman catholic priests have bastardised what it originally stands for, these days priest are womanizing, drinking alcohol, diverting church funds, having children secretly, giving preferential treatment to the rich and disregarding the poor may God help us.

Not just in the Catholic Church but some pentecostal churches too. The day I attended RCCG Youth Church, I thought I was in Christ Embassy, heard they are opening youth branches because they are loosing their youths to other Liberal churches. 11 Likes 1 Share |

If Chimmanda Adichie decides to be an atheist, she has the free will to go ahead and do that provided she loves her fellow human beings, obey the law and pay her tax. Chikena! By the reality is the Church is an assemblage of imperfect CHILDREN who are striving to love and please their FATHER in appreciation of His love and providence. You need to understand this to rise above the limitations of fellow CHILDREN running the Church and focus on pleasing the FATHER. If you, an imperfect being, uses logic and seeks perfection from fellow imperfect beings, you will lose focus and then stop finding "meaning". 42 Likes 3 Shares |

... Christians claim to be "one" and that they serve the same god, but the division between them is so much that it's considered an act of clownery when they say "their god is not a god of confusion". MFM, Catholic, White garment, RCCG, Deeper life, Jehovah witness, Christ embassy etc... Don't agree with themselves on a lot of things. And they read the same Bible. Religion has and will always cause division, both to its adherents and the outsiders. Funny how women are the ones who are more religious even though religion recognizes them as mere property for men. 14 Likes 1 Share |

So what is the name of your current church? We need to know to properly weigh your virtue of sincerity, and as well distinguish political correctness from the Truth. I say so because what you outlined has nothing to do with Catholicism, but individuals. The opinion and modus vivendi of your parish priest or Chaplin, or your parishioners, cannot be a valid premise to stereotype the oldest most organised organisation in the world. 47 Likes 2 Shares |

Abeg, this woman always finds one thing or the other to complain about when trying to appease her white masters. She strikes me as the type to quickly birth babies with white men in order to wash her 'impurity' during slave times. For a writer, she forgets there were mentions of heroic females in the bible. Yes, attack the Christian institution because Caucasians as at 2021 do not find religion useful. "Hey, massa white man, sir. I'm the same as you — only sunburnt". 37 Likes 1 Share |

Sometimes humans tend to use the fault in the system justify their inability to uphold certain value especially those ones that are spiritually binding. 21 Likes 1 Share |
