maybe they find the catholic church BORING and they have moved on to more groovy and swaggalicious church where the pastor has benzes and porsche and plenty fancy suits to inspire the youth to MAKE IT.
They will also be able to meet girls in juicy sexy curvy outfits there and make connections with their fellow teenage guys who sag their jeans, wear earring and paint their finger nails.
dem no get time to hail mary again. dem want that sexy usher called mary to hail dem when they meet in church.
they got tired of reverend spraying holy water when people like odumeje is spraying dollars.

Hold your tongue my dear as I hold my temper.

Even so, there are many red dots and lines in your communication which renders it a righteous hypocrisy.

The children are getting wiser and smarter than you adults who fail to think for yourself that religion is nothing but a bondage meant to cage gullible ones..

Modified: about 4 months later this graced frontpage.. grin..
Our famous Nietzsche is challenging humanity to assume the throne that they have already made vacant and he is reminding everyone of the responsibility involved in doing so...He is calling you all to become greater than your theistic imaginings..to become real rather than being slaves to an invented creature created to shield humanity from the crushing realisation of the power and potential they actually have...

God is dead...God remains dead...And we have killed him..must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

You can’t possibly give literal meaning to a metaphor joor.

You look at the Western countries and you still believe what you have written?

I am not condemning the Catholic church. Religion or churches shouldn't have to fundamentally change for people when they go into the church.



Vinnie2000:
Hehehe! This is funny!
The Catholic church will even be the Lastman standing!.
These teenagers wearing Rugged jeans, short gowns, doing dreadlocks, spraying dier Hair and going to Pentecostal churches will EVENTUALLY CRASH THOSE CHURCHES!
You cannot expand God's kingdom with Unrighteousness and waywardness!

Legendoo:
Man must submit to a higher purpose.

While I understand the skepticism with today's churches. If you dump a set of rules you will subscribe to another.

So ask yourselves, if I dump religion what is the higher purpose?

Dumping religion means you've accepted your true state , a godless state and have taken a scientific stance of being an animal.

If you are an animal , then there are no rules, without rules, chaos ensues.

Religion is the bedrock for all morality and the basis of law. You shouldn't kill in the Bible for example, and by law killing also has consequences.

I think religion is just for guidance and it's ability to restrict you when no one is looking. When people dump guidance what then do they follow?

My guess , wokeness, a state of lawlessness, perversion and chaos, where everything goes.

My friend was banned for one month for saying prophet muhammad was a Paedophile for marrying a 9 year old.

They claimed he said what could affect the existence and progress of NL(Rule 7).
So where is the freedom of speech??

If you say catholic, oh yes! Same with Anglican. Go to pentecostal churches and you'd reason differently. Those members of RCCG today left Catholic, Anglican and other orthodox denominations



I once left Catholic for about 10 years to RCCG, then later to MFM.
But I got bored with those.G.Os and their lifestyles that are similar to politicians'


For instance, I was pissed off the day I saw Pastor Olukoya with about 6 mobile policemen as escorts.
There's nothing spiritual about those General Overseers and the pastors under them.

They are just using their followers to build financial empires
I can never attend a church set up by an individual, especially a Nigerian again.
Their main target is money making.

I have gone back to Catholic Church. It is not perfect, but far better than pentecostal organisations, where the G.O is the CEO, and his wife is Mama G.O

Keep it up! A new dawn is coming upon the earth, we must as a matter urgency equip ourselves with knowledge of our true nature as Africans, because only knowledge of who we truly are is true power, the African has missed partaking in the natural evolution curve, we don't understand that whoever gives you LANGUAGE, EDUCATION AND RELIGION set the precedent of your reality, these three tools is what controls any society, we all see the negative effect in our lives but we are hard wired to focus on the wrong direction as our reality. The time has come to expand our consciousness, a time has come to renew our minds in order to transform our lives out of these fake reality we live in. Welcome onboard.

Catholic business used to be for the youths back then but eyes don open now. We all decided to let our fathers abs grandpa chase heaven while we chase this money. If you know the oppression in Anglican and Catholic Church business centers u will chase money harder. Ritualist and drug lord are the highest donors when it comes to naira & dollars

Yahoo business thrives on weekends don’t you know?
Can you come to U.K. and see their churches on Sundays. The age groups you see are only 70 years and above and less than 10 of them worshipping in a gigantic edifice. That’s what will happen in NIGERIA. It’s coming gradually.

Teens are pro-Pentecostals now, or not doing church and staying online on Sunday morning.

Teens are fleecing from Catholic and is mostly because of their unchanging, crude, unmodern and old orthodox doctrines.

Teens now are born as recent as 2005, hard for them to warp their head around 1,000 AD Doctrines.
And yet the Catholic Church keeps growing bigger in number by the day , you go for mass in a church bigger than a cathedral,as early as you can yet you have to sit outside ….who pray tell is responsible for the geometric growth? The youths….
Oga stop yarning trash
The Catholic Church is still very much in tune with what the youths want ……..
I don’t know the rubbish the op is talking about but if you go to any Catholic Church the youths more than double any other age grade….

You mentioned teenagers. Secondly, you never told us the location of the said church if it's in a rural or urban area

But one thing is, teenagers this days are either under their parents or they are in the universities or higher learning institution

In my University days, a 16 year student was admitted and I believe things should be different now, kids of 15 should be in the universities or doing predegree

Also, catholic church, I don't know, I don't really consider Catholic to be a church as far as I'm concerned. Though they may believe what other Christians believe, but I never read a place in the bible where Christians are to honour Mary as done today
You don’t believe Catholic Church is a church? Are you ok ?Hear this n hear clearly
The only church of Christ on earth is the CATHOLIC CHURCH , others are man made churches…..
