…Says Christians who are absolute
pacifist have all perished
By Luka Binniyat
ZANGON KATAF—The Catholic Bishop
of Kafanchan Diocese, Bishop Joseph
Bagobiri said yesterday it was a
religious obligation binding on
Christians to use, “moderate and
proportionate force” to defend
themselves against the onslaught on
them by the Islamic terrorist group Boko
Haram, arguing that it was a biblical
teaching.
He also said that Christian communities
that observe absolute pacifism, have all
ceased to exist.
.
The former Chairman, Christian
Association of Nigeria, CAN, Kaduna
state Chapter, also came down heavily
on retired generals from Southern
Kaduna, where he alleged Fulani
gunmen have killed several hundreds of
persons since 2011. He described the
act of reticence by Christians as, “gross
act of irresponsibility”
Bagobiri said this in his homily at a
reception organised for the immediate
Group Managing Director, GMD, of the
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation,
NNPC, Engr Andy La’ah Yakubu, in
Unguwan Wakili, Zangon Kataf Local
Governenmt Area, LGA, in Southern part
of Kaduna state.
.
The Magisterium on legitimacy of self
defence
Said Bagobiri: “The Catechism of the
Catholic Church describes it as an act of
love towards one self; and carried out
out in defense of God’s gift to life which
we are merely custodians. The
theological authorities of the Church are
emphatic: Love towards oneself
remains a fundamental principle of
morality.
.
“Therefore, it is legitimate to insist on
respect for one’s own right to life.
Someone who defends his life is not
guilty of murder even if he is forced to
deal his aggressor a lethal blow . Nor is
it necessary for salvation that a man
omit the act of moderate self-defense to
avoid killing the other man, since one is
bound to take more care of one’s own
life than of another’s’
“The Magisterium is further explicit on
this subject matter when it teaches that
‘ legitimate Defence can not only be a
right but grave duty for one who is
responsible for the lives of others. The
Defence of the common good require
than an unjust aggressor be rendered
unable to cause harm.
.
“It must be stated clearly here that in
light of the above official church
statement, that the exercise of self
Defence does amount to un-
forgiveness, nor is it to be seen as an
act of vengeance or vendetta.
.
“Christians must do everything within
their powers to protect their lives from
being snuffed off by Satanist driven
Islamic organisations. Christian
communities that observe absolute
pacifism have all ceased to exist,
according to researchers into Christian
persecution.

No, if it were, I would have supported Oritsejafor, but I am sure it's for Asari Dokubo and his cohorts.

Christians should defend themselves, but our estranged "leader" bling bling pastor is more concerned about his pocket & geopolitical zone than Christianity

They should use deadly force against this dreaded sect.

They or we ?
You ain't on the front line or are you ?

Defend yourself first, Save your life, even if you have to harm the attacker before you can start thinking whether your religion forbids it or not.

It is either you kill somebody or somebody kills you. If you kill somebody you are safe.
I am earthly talking about DOA.

We are no longer turning the other chick. Slap me I slap mine. These idiots in the name of islamic sects are taking us as fools. If that money was meant to equip us, then God bless the CAN president. The only issue here is that I am not yet that cruel to kill a fellow human being but I know I can when its inevitable so as to protect my life
