I want to believe it's only practised in the Eastern part of Nigeria and I believe it's not right. For me, it's taking catholicism or christianism to the extreme. I am a practising catholic, i grew up in Lagos, i can tell you for free that my friend's mum married a muslim in the catholic church. So if catholic/muslim marriage could be allowed, what more of a fellow christian. Not long ago, i travelled with a stunch catholic friend for a wedding in a baptist church in Osun state. Another friend married a while garment (C&S) lady recently.

In fact as a catholic, here in Lagos, if you're marrying an anglican spouse, it's just as if it's a catholic wedding, so many things like baptism etc will be waived. So this practice is quite bizarre. I advise you write to the catholic secretariat in Abuja to correct this anomaly. It well my sister.

thank you,l will

May the Lord, your God lead you as you seek him.
Amen.

As usual... Anti-catholic .


Who told you the church does not teach rapture? And preaches solely about purgatory??

You were just educated about the doctrine updside down..


How are you though?

ezugegere:


Tell me about Sunni and Shia pls!

I have simply told you what is obtainable in Quran not what is obtainable with Sunni or Shia. May the Peace of God be with you.

analice107:

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.

They preach about rapture in Catholic church too not only about purgatory...
Every answers I've seeked as a Christian I found answers to them in the Catholic church....

Sirheny007:

Of course! to make the whole thing look legal.. unless you want o be the only guest at your own wedding
On a more serious note, religion should be a personal thing.. Religion has done more harm than good. God wanted a fellowship but we gave him religion.

God punish you and your permission.. foolish people

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

Please let me know what you have achieved with this post of yours.

You brought the matter to Nairaland for what reason?

If you don't care if the Catholic Church buries your parents, why are you making a fuss about it?

Just go and sleep.

I can see that your Aunty and the parish priest are only acting out of ignorance and lack of exposure.

You should understand that and follow the matter with maturity instead of all these tantrums.

Act abrasively with the advices you will get here and get your leg and fingers burnt!

Your aunty is worse than one practicing witchcraft. How could someone betray her brother's family when all she could've given them was her full support. The priest is a segregationist. Why should he deny a father from blessing his daughter in preparing for her new home.
I don't really understand why some catholic priests segregate and frown against their congregation marrying from other christian denomination.

You just have to love Yorubas. This is rare among Yorubas.

Movingcoil:

Am sorry if I disappointed but my version of Christianity that I self tutored myself in never told me to please you or follow your standards,
When Jesus entered the temple and saw they were selling and buying, please I know he started begging them to leave.
Just leave me alone and face your own race, because I myself is at peace with my Lord.

God bless you.

Honourable Professor Emeretus Of Spermatology And Agricultural Scince, I Salute You. But You Should Have Told Me Earlier That It Was Your Uncle Who Impregnated Your Mother Because Your Dad Was Not Anywhere Near The Task.The Type Of JESUS You Displayed Now Is Very Wounderful, I Believe It Was Thesame JESUS Your G.Os Are Displaying That Is Why You Guys Are Having Several Court Cases. And You Say You Do JESUS Not CHURCH. Let Sense Fall On You And Grow Up Man.

it's wonderful not wounderful

Every church, irrespective of denomination, is filled with pedophiles, homosexuals, thieves, false prophets, etc. No single church is perfect, not my Catholic church, and DEFINITELY not your own denomination. So stop passing judgement.

See what I mean. Religion has completely damaged the brains of Nigerians.

saintandsinnerz:

Typical of a tribalist or a racist! Their first line of defence is to claim or show how their "loved ones" are from the other side. Your statement would have still made the same meaning if you had resisted the temptation of going tribal, but I guess it's difficult for people like you.

going by your long epistle, seem you just want to make yourself happy.


so yes, I'm a tribal bigot!


happy now?!

My sister what we Nigerian churches practice is region not Christianity we allow church to detect our lives for us,for instance this kind of scenario and is not only your own church even Jehavoh witness,if you are one of them try and marry from another denomination and see how they will treat you. My dearest sister with or without them coming for the burial it will never determine if they are going to heaven or not,so no need writing to anybody just pray for them to see Christ simple and allow this over righteous people over to pass their own judgement. As for me church doesn't not have a final say in my life and I place them where they belong.

I am a Catholic,a devoted one or should I say I use to be. I am and still a proud Catholic but I have come to realize how much we(Catholics) discriminate other,then made up my mind I will not adhere to those of their teaching that are wrong or not necessary.
(1) In Catholic churches in my village, you must settle all youth dues(where you are around or not) before they approve you doing your wedding.
(2) As a Catholic,you will have to include the church before fixing a date for a burial, because they might likely reject it and refuse to come if you persist. It is not as If they will be of any help.
(3) If you are a second wife, you and your husbanare not allowed to receive holy communion(who as are we to judge?)
I have an extended family member who never go married because she wanted a Catholic man and unfortunately all suitors were non-Catholic. Now she is old and would have been a grand/great grand mother if she had married.
(4) Once a while I visit other churches and I see how they care for each other but we Catholic,we still have a long way to go in that aspect.
They are so many fault we have and yet still discriminate other churches.
If one knows what is right,let him/her do it instead of allowing religion decide for us.

my sister is married to an Anglican, she is participating in all Anglican activities and no one cares in my house cos she is building her home. As long as it is Christianity, there's no difference even the priest said, Anglican is not different from Catholic Church... don't mind all those Mumu village father that dances to the tune of the villagers.. go and investigate, it is your aunt that is behind your ordeal...(my uncle told the priest not to give me the marriage ban form because my traditional marriage is on holy Saturday and the Mumu begin spew trash, my husband had to make some calls before he apologized and gave it back to us.)

My sister there is no need complaining because the world has always been unfair. What you need to do is to take action.
Instead of looking for the head of the Catholic Church in nigeria, go physically to the head of your church in your geo-political zone or state. Table your complaints and ask him to remedy the situation.
If it doesn't work your parents could convert to Anglicans or could make arrangements to be buried by them.
Dont make the mistake of a public apology. Your parents were absent for your wedding yet they still went back on their word. If you acquiesce they will continue to opress you by using to make an example for potential defaulters.

How are you though?

Where have you been? It's been loong.

Am good. you guys make this place lively. Don't go away for too long.

And, am not anti-Catholic o. Almost ally family is still Catholic, but not all of us will follow the same path.


God bless you Joey.

FortuneTeller:


See what I mean. Religion has completely damaged the brains of Nigerians.

Please do tell what's wrong with my post. For stating the obvious that the church is not made up of perfect people? Is it false? And you atheist, are you perfect?

superior1:
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.

Good. Catholics and all that she birthed teach that an infant must be baptised yet, the bible says one should make a conscious decision and repent before being baptised.

They say we must confess to Priests who are sinners as we are yet, the bible says confess your sins to God and ask him through Jesus Christ his son.

They say Saints are a particular hanful of Priest yet, the bible teaches that repenting makes you a saint and also that we must not be proud but ask for forgiveness when we have wronged. Instead if intentionally doing wrong.

They call their Priest Father yet, the only Father is God....according to the bible.

They potray Mary a carrier of Jesus as a co-mediator to God and as if she herself was without sin yet, the bible says we access God through Jesus Christ whom is the only without sin. .....By the way, that mother marry sculpture is actually Tamuss, son of Nimrod and his mother. Brought to the vetican after the amalgamation of the Roman-Egyptian pact called Roman Catholic Chruch. Read your history.

They pray in vain repitition (Hail Mary and The Lords Prayer), yet the bible says not.

Where in the bible does it say priest must not marry and that they should shun themselves from the same communities they are meant to serve? Nowhere.

I can go on the entire day.....time. Salvation is with Christ and nowhere else.

I went to catholic schools and believed all they taught me until I decided to pick up the bible and read it, instead of listening to one person tell me.

Excuse me for derailing.....your parents dont need a domination to be buried. They need you to bury them 6feet under and that you try and make a happy life even after they are gone.

EyeHateGod:
You were not a true Catholic...

And you are?

I will advice you not to kill yourself on this, just be prepared to bury your parents whenever their time us done on earth.. Will the church give him ticket to heaven if he is a candidate of hell or will they push him to hell if he is a candidate of heaven? 6 feet is 6 feet.. All burial na burial.

flyca:
See the segregation Religion is causing to humanity!!!

Is no longer between Christian and Muslims. Its now Christians and fellow christians!

Sister, how I wish you can understand that Religion is a scam!

Religion is a big scam.

How can your parents be alive and the church is threatening not to bury them when they die? What if your parents outlive all of you, the parish priest included?

Africans!!!!

jagugu88li:
She can't. She doesn't even know the true meaning if being a knight, otherwise she wouldnt be posting such disgrace here. I dont even think she knows the foundation of Catholicism and everything that is birthed by it......free her

know the true meaning of Knight,what for? l stopped caring when the so called knight wrote a letter to my sick dad of many years,that since he stopped attending their meetings and functions,that he should pay a certain amount of money,this is someone,who was more dedicated to the church affairs than his own family,he has held alot of post in the church zealously,that was why he was made a knight..he gave his time and attention to the church more than us,his children.He even tried forcing my elder brother to become a rev father,and wanted us all to be missionaries,that's how much he loves the Catholic Church.Then when he fall sick for 10years now,the knight visited him once,after that they sent a letter to us,to pay his dues...hmmm....my brother,no need for long stories,you will never know,better leave religion and be a true follower of Christ

wingman:

Don't mind the foolish gal. She has not even petitioned her Bishop but quickly runs to Nairaland just to embarrass the Church. Well, you are too small. Over the ages greater forces have fought the Church and failed. You silly rant will make zero impact.

This is just the typical example of the hatred among us christains,why the insults? All because you want to defend the church? To what end? The silly rant makes zero impact to you alone but an eye opener and a call for help to people

I am very sorry for coming out hard on you, the word Catholic makes me boil. Knights have that effect, they dispose of you once you are done carring out what they say "oughts to be done".....and sorry your dad had to learn the hard way.

O.P
When did all this happen? 1817?

i attended a wedding 6 years ago between a catholic & a muslim in a Catholic church, so my sister have no fear. if I were you, I would report the priest to the bishop & also report your aunt to more enlightened members of the family.

You have strength ma.. U really have strength.. Burial common burial. U don't need to stress itself. Just pay me. Of officiate the burial thanks

This is between two christians and there's so much bile and hate. You can imagine what they would do to a muslim.
I don give up on my xtian babe sef. Her parents are not helping issues.
