What My Marriage To An Anglican Caused My Catholic Parents. by Nobody: 8:00am On Jan 28, 2016 |
I came from a staunch Catholic family, my dad is a knight, he has held many positions in various catholic association, right now he is down with partial stroke for the past nine years now. In 2014, I got married to my Anglican husband with the full support from my parents,but my daddy's only sister, who lives in the village,was strongly against it,she fought our kinsmen when they secretly anchored our first for the fear of being reported to the church, threatening to report to the parish priest, saying that Catholics are not allowed to marry non Catholics in our village,she went ahead and reported l and my parents to the church. Due to my dads condition, they couldn't go, so i went alone but was shocked at what the priest told me, he made me choose between the two churches, making it clear that if i wed in Anglican, that I have chosen darkness over light. To cut the long story short, I successfully got married but my aunt made her own family and our kindred not to attend my traditional marriage, it was rather attended by the non Catholics, and also the church made my parents not to attend my white wedding, that if they attend, that they will not bury them when they die. But now, even without attending my white wedding, the church still insists that they will not bury my parents if they die since they allowed me to marry an Anglican, except if they openly apologize to the whole church. My question is apologize for what? Please am not trying to paint catholic black, I was a devoted catholic even till now, but this?? pls NL, I need the address to the head of catholic church in Nigeria,I need answer to this please question 31 Likes 3 Shares |

Wrong at all falls. This is not love that Christ preached nor salvation He brought to us. Spirituality has been sacrificed on the altar of Religiousness. This is not generally practiced in Catholic church. 18 Likes |

What then do we preach as christians? what makes Anglican darkness and catholic light? Is this a height of hatred in the church?Christ is the light of all Dear try letting the bishop kno. For the church to say they won't bury your parents s no issue Other churches can do that. Most important thing is that you are happily married 34 Likes 3 Shares |

ikechizoba:I was born a Catholic. My Dad was also a Knight, he is late now. As i was growing, i became very inquisitive, asking questions. My questions actually stems from the kind of dreams i was having. I was having dreams of rapture continuously. In Catholic Church, we were taught Pogatory, not Rapture, this kept me curious. I needed answers, there was no one to talk to, so i started seeking. Just like the Bible said 'He that seeks shall find', I found answers out of Catholic Church, so i left. Am a Pentecostal now. But, some years back, a Catholic man came to marry me, here were his conditions. 1. Return to Catholic Church. 2. Go back to your parish, meet your parish priest. explain yourself and apologize. 3. Your Dad will pay up all the dues which have accrued to you from when you left. 4. Then i will marry you in my Church, he said. (Catholic) With the knowledge of the Bible i now have, i told him no. I saw him as a religious man, not a Christian. In all he said, i didn't see any iota of Christianity in him Religion is plunging us back into what Christ saved us from. HATE, SELF, MALICE, SEGREGATION, AND HAUGHTINESS. All these are satanic traits. You see, in this life, we came alone and we shall go back alone. Don't let Dogma put in place by men, keep you down. Love is Christ's only message on earth. Love is the opposite of Pride. Pride is selective, Love is not. Ask yourself this my dearest, what Law as far as Christ's teachings are concerned, have you defaulted? and what law did your parents who for all their lives have been good Catholics living according her dogmas done to be shunned? Wait, does Christ shun anyone? If Christ shuns anyone, which of us will even be alive today? My dearest, let this hang over your head, If you are a Christian, then find out what Christ says about anything before you do them, and if you are right, pls do it irrespective of what people will say, because ultimately, it is Christ who died for you, you owe, not anyman. Your parents will die, the Anglican Church can bury your Dad. be concern about his soul when he dies, not his carcass which shall remain in the dust. Shalom. 231 Likes 20 Shares |

Roman Catholics aren't Christians. Ask your parents to leave idol worshipping and embrace Christ. You don't need a church denomination to get them buried. 18 Likes 1 Share |

![]() Africans take things to far,extreme and personal. Religion ought to be a guide not a rod. I can categorically state that the socalled Aunty in question might even be a witch. To those out there who uses religion as a tool to perpetrate heinous acts i just have some words for u; 1) i hope you make it to heaven and not only that i want to see you all seated on the right hand side of God on the Judgment day judging the world alongside him. If God says Mr Evans go to paradise i hope to see u counter God's decision OR ELSE 2) may you all be thundered 7 tyms on Judgement day (that is before your judgment starts). 14 Likes |

I understand your pain and point in standing between the person who will give you and everlasting joy. Our problem in this country is that we attached so much importance to something that is not neccessary. Since your father and mother who brought you to the catholichood, I see no reason why your aunty should be taking it so personal, like somebody who is hawking gala. And for the priest, he just said that to scare you off from your husband, that Anglican is a darkness, though they were together before they depart each other. I also have an uncle who is now a pastor in redeem, who told me to leave catholic that they don't teach anything, I never mind him, I still continue with my doctrine. Please if you love your husband, enjoy him well and close your two ears from what they are saying, in other not to be distracted. I am more of a Catholic than some people who were born inside the church and the doctrine. Infact you hardly see me collect fliers of other church just because I won't go, and I don't want to waste the fliers. I was born a methodist, but followed some friends who are Catholics and after going to the church, I really fell in love with the way they sing the Latin that day, so till today I don't joke with Catholics church, and I have encountered many huge success since I joined the church. Even during my service, I dedicated most of my time to build the youth of the catholic church around me. 27 Likes 1 Share |

Who get tissue ? That is why anything outside the Bible is something I will never believe in even at gun point or knife point or even if my destiny is denied cos of it. I live for Christ alone and only his teachings will I follow even if am offered the whole world to add or remove from the principles of Christ , I'd rather die than flaunt Jesus' principles and teachings... Meanwhile... . . All these church people Na mumu period... Am Assemblies of God and anyi na-agba war now.... 5 Likes
