We Are Still In Can-catholic Bishops by kglamour(m): 6:14am On Jan 24, 2013 |
From AIDOGHIE PAULINUS, Abuja The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) yesterday denied rumours of its withdrawal from the apex body, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). The Apostolic Administrator of the Catholic Diocese of Abeokuta, Monsignor Christopher Ajala, said at a Press briefing in Abeokuta, Ogun State marking the 15th anniversary of the installation of the diocese that CAN is now too close to government. He said that CAN, under the leadership of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, was now moving in a different direction from its laid down objectives. “The Catholic Church took its stand before the purchase or the aircraft that was donated to him. But what the CBCN is complaining about, is about the way they are running the national CAN now that it is not meeting the objectives and the goals of CAN and the forefathers of CAN. “CAN is now being run as part of the government and we said no. Because they (government) will dictate to us what to do and they will not take our advice seriously. The Catholic Church decided to withdraw from the activities of CAN at national level. We are still part of the state. We made our stand clear in November last year, and by December, the man bought a jet. I don’t know how he got it but the President was there on the day the jet was delivered to him. “So, what we are saying is that our religious leaders should be honest, upright and they should also be the conscience of this nation. If you are bought, the masses of this country are finished. If you can use money to buy our religious leaders, then, there is no hope for the common man. That is the Catholic Church’s stand. We are supposed to speak for the people to correct the wrongs in the society and assist every government to know the will of God for them and we still stand by that,” he said.
