YorubaKinging: Point of correction bro, Catholicism never gave birth to Christianity, it is safe to say that Catholicism is the first denomination to divert from the one true church that was established by the Bible..... If you're a Christan, then were the seven churches of Asia Catholic? |

So true, my parents were almost ban because l married an Anglican. My parents didn't even attend my white wedding for the fear of banning them. It was so horrible that the priest in charge of our then church, queried me about my plans to marry a non Catholic and how l was choosing darkness over light for agreeing to marry an Anglican. My late dad wasn't given a full burial rite because of that but God pass them. 2 Likes |

godlessmind: If you don't believe in God entirely, I DO. We are two different persons here; i don't have a problem if you worship the Moon, but i will have a problem with you when you don't get rid of me. Pack and go. I BELIEVE IN GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, AND IN JESUS CHRIST, HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OUR LORD....... I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH, THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY, AND LIFE EVERLASTING. 1 Like |

I'm sorry to say, i hate this church because they worship Mary and not Jesus. what makes you people think Mary the Mother of Jesus is different from other women in the Bible? because she was a virgin when she gave birth? Matthew 12 vs 47-49. Says Someone told Jesus Christ, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and they want to Speak to you. But Jesus replied, Who is My mother, and who are My brothers Pointing to His disciples, He said, Here are My mother and My brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother" So why do you bow and worship the image of Mary after the Lord God has also warn not to bow down for any other gods (Exodus 20 vs 5), am not a born again Christian but not pleased with their doctrine. |

Chukwuzobam89: I have been a Catholic ever since i was born, i studied at the Catholic Minor Seminary (for 6 good years), and i am still a Catholic. I have never seen this horrible encounter where the Church did all these things. Lets be frank here, it is best to say "Your Priest" or "the Church Council" was responsible for that, but i doubt if it was a compliance in regards to Holy See. When i was at the Minor Seminary, my Dad wasn't even Catholic, but i was admitted, my Dad attends ECWA and the school authority knew. If the Church were strict as you sounded, i would have been withdrawn. Again, i have a friend who also attended a Catholic Minor Seminary different from mine, he graduated there and applied to become a Priest. However, he was declined the opportunity cos his Dad had two Wives. Here, the Church was fair. Infact, we both know that Christianity frowns at a Man having two Wives. But even when my friend's Dad passed away, more than 2 Priest were at his burial, accordingly. Priest are Humans too, they have tendency of being a Fanatic or Extremist. So i will tell anybody again, it is the Priest. 1 Like |

jesusjnr2020: What if you were the one deprived of burial just because of money, will you be able to go to that church with your whole heart? Or is treating someone like a second class citizen now a norm? Christianity is whole, not in part. Abeg Remember what Jesus did to the woman at the well? Who are we then to segregate? |

Babathanks: I am not happy with the fact that you called out that "bleep"......LOL, forgive me. But you are so right. They use "Igbo ideology" to judge in the Church. I have never seen "Holy See" giving such terrible directives. It is rather their Priest or Church Council. I attended a Catholic Minor Seminary for six years, and my Dad is not even a Catholic. They know he attends ECWA. 1 Like |

samuelevans: You may need to ask the angel who visited Mary with these words "Hail Mary, full of grace". To "hail" is to "honor"..... we honor Mary, not "worship". We also do not worship images nor idols....you need to visit the Church and understand how it rolls, you cannot judge a book by its cover. Find any Catholic Church and get knowledgeable ideas from the Priest or Members there....cos we won't finish it here. |

JayB11:My dear, it happens, l am a witness. My dad was a knight, my brother went through seminary school right from Jss1 till when he entered higher level (apostolate or something like that) though he left. Why would l lie with something like that has to do with God and my Faith? l was a devoted Catholic, just like she rightly stated, l fought for my belief in catholism against Protestant students then in secondary School. Up till now, that practice is still on in my village, my junior sister had to drag her non Catholic husband to Catholic church for their wedding to avoid what happened in mine. I have nothing against them, l am still a Catholic at heart but not a fanatic. 1 Like |

jesusjnr2020:Exactly. She mentioned the resistance of the church to women putting on shoulder baring clothes as one of her reasons and I ask,how long b4 it goes from shoulder baring to thighs baring like we see in some churches nowadays where a supposed house of God looks like a clubhouse? Preventing a presumed fallen out of faith couple from taking communion?What is wrong with that? In this present day of huge moral decadence, it is even heartwarming to see churches who still carry out such practices that reminds ppl of the need for repentance and avoidance of sin. To me,she has no point and is just seeking attention 1 Like |

BSsniffer:First fool on the thread. Congratulations. Igbos regard women as property but Anambra presently has 2 female senators out of 3 and none of them is a 1st timer. Okonjo Iweala,Arunma Otteh,Ndi Okereke Onyiuke,Kema Chikwe,and numerous Igbo women are doing wonders out there. Nollywood was practically made popular by Igbo women but your Islamic skull still thinks Igbo women are relegated. Igbos have the most prominent and visible women among all the regions and tribes but your Islamic skull thinks otherwise. |

breathelove: Well, no insult was intended with that submission or opinion... If anyone, even you, feels slighted then I apologize but my statement and position stays unchanged. It is deeper than that... Mind you, I haven't even poked at cultures or traditions, neither do I have anything against morality. When I speak of religion, any deep thinker already knows I speak of the inhumanity and disunity it proliferates rather than addresses... So, my position holds even at the risk of coming off as indelicate to your sensitivity or bent. Lastly, I have been religious... I long ceased to follow such pathetic bandwagon and truly embrace God in totality. Call me childish all ye want, but I'm liberated. A good morning to you! |

Someone who doesn't even know the meaning of the word "bible" or the word "Catholic" or "Katolika". Anyway, keep stewing in your ignorance. |
