Mmh, abeg, this woman and her over-bloated ego. She dances to the white man’s tune and finds anything African below her. Her husband is mixed because she couldn’t nab a white man.

If she is complaining about fund raising in Catholic church in Nigeria, Let her go to Pentecostal church in Nigeria and know what tithe is about.
It's then she will appreciate Catholic church

Religion in general, is a school you should graduate from as soon as you can so has to discover your very own spiritual path ordained for you from the beginning.

Religion can NEVER lead you to God, only spirituality can perceive God; for God is Spirit.

It is only one of the means and never the End. If you see it has the end, you will never understand your being and consequently God.

Glad Adichie is coming to that understanding.

I'm not a Catholic, but one church in Nigeria I admire most is the Catholic Church.
There is this Catholic Church close to my residence, they have a mini flat(Bungalow) close to the Church auditorium, this house has housed a non Catholic with his six children for more than three years now. Every Sunday mass will be ongoing and the man and his family would dress and pass right in front of the church auditorium to living faith church(Winners chapel) where they worship.

Which other denomination tolerates such?
Bros. Clap for yourself. This is New year, you have started with all this your trash write again.

Jesus knew why He said you shall do exploits if you know your God. Having insight saves, you could choose your path and vision and yet be part of a congregation while you kindly keep voicing out against odds. Absconding is not the best, there is a still anoiting in the sanctuary.
Is that so

I lost my faith in the church and stopped going since 2017. It's all about money and wealth. Not about the poorest members among themselves. A church is supposed to be where someone comes for refuge, no where one will be oppressed because they don't have money. You are respected in church organisations by how much money you to your family have and by by what you have to offer. It's a sad thing that even the so called priests openly partake in the this irreligious affair. Sad generation indeed!

Well done

Brother

Because it has been there doesn't make it right.

As a former Catholic I can declare that the church puts financial pressures on membership and panders to the men and family with the financial muscle .

There is no anxiety as a result of financial pressure in Pentecostal churches as you have it in the othodox churches

I was a former Catholic
Been to Anglican for baby deviation and experienced first many offerings and collections

There is hardly any Pentecostal that takes offering more than once unless end of the month Thanksgiving and many don't do launching and harvest and raffle draws or collect dues

Ok, I am of two minds about this

1.The Churches in Nigeria seem to be largely money minded. Not just catholic, every church, and even some fellowships.

2.On the other hand, the money raised by many churches goes into their charities, which help the...you guessed it...poor. And the Catholic church is one of the chief runners of charities in this country.

(N.B I am not a catholic, nor do I agree with their doctrine)

Na for Africa oh. Oyibo them no rate God at all oh. in fact, the word 'God' is even censored on Tv because they know it's a brainwashing tool like an intoxicant. You knoow the way they censor drugs, guns and booty on tv.

It's for the undeveloped or people who are still stuck in the dark ages/times. for people who are yet to come to terms with reality

Chiamanda states she is a Catholic by nomenclature. I don't really think there is anything as such. She says she doesn't believe in the Sacrament of Penance (Confession). You see, if you are a Catholic, you are bound to believe in all the articles of the Catholic faith as summarized in the Nicene Creed or the Apostle's Creed. You don't decide which of the doctrines suit you to believe. Meanwhile as a Catholic, your role model should be on those who have ran the race to the finish and gained the prize of eternal life and not on those still on the way. This is the reason we believe in the communion of the Saints and there are many of them, in all nations of the world and even in our country Nigeria
