This is an excerpt of a post shared by Fada Oluoma in response to the said viral images and video:

This is also not about how efficacious devotion to the saints are, I have already cited verifiable cases. This is about the EXAGGERATED and sometimes RIDICULOUS level some Catholics take the devotion to the saints to.

You come to some parishes, you see more than 5 images of different saints at different positions on the altar, this is besides the images of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Mother Mary and above all the TABERNACLE. That's not cool at all. In the church, we should have just the images of Mother Mary, the crucifix and the TABERNACLE. Every other image of saints should have their places elsewhere.

You come to the homes of some Catholics and you see their personal altars with multiple images of saints. Then some sew clothes to dress the images and make them up with lipsticks and powders as if their images are living beings, haba na🥴

How about the veneration of the skull or any part of a saint? I can say with certainty that the only image we venerate liturgically is the crucifix. We do it every sunday when we incense it and on a more profound note on Good Fridays. I don't think the veneration of the skull or any other part of any saint is necessary.

We definitely have Catholic fanatics who can take innocent devotions to unnecessary and dizzying heights. In fact, it is safe to say some Catholics commit 'image idolatory' and syncretism with such exaggerated pieties. Make we no over do abeg.

This also drew a quite similar reaction from Fada Kelvin Ugwu on the matter:

In the Catholic Church teachings, the remains of the saints are not brought out for the purpose of worship. They are brought out as tangible reminders of people whose lives witnessed to Christ and whose memory the Church continues to honour.

If we all agree on this, then I am fine.

Every other thing you are thinking on the St Agatha and her skull trending video…. on whether the practice is psychologically strange, culturally uncomfortable, historically complicated, or even pastorally necessary… I am thinking it also with you. Yes, I also agree with you on the conclusion of that your thinking.

I said in an earlier post that they would soon run out of excuses to defend the brazen acts of idolatry going on in the Catholic church, so not surprising seeing some of their most vocal leaders in these parts of the world admitting it for the first time.

One also went ahead to post the image above alongside his write-up, to illustrate that there's no difference between what a native doctor/babalawo was doing with a skull to that of the Catholic Bishop.

This is still not enough though, but hopefully is good step in the right direction, that would eventually lead to the point where they'd begin say a categorical no to any form of idolatry going on in the Catholic church, not just this one.

God bless.

Isn't this close to the veneration spoken of in Quran 9:31?

As the wheels of time roll the truth reveals discernably more clear.

All religions have the same purpose...

Catholic Church is cultural not Biblical.

Catholicism and islam come from the same person who caused Sarai to spoil God's Plan

No they don't.

Christianity's purpose is to save man, others kill man by deceiving them with wishes the guilty wish for

Lol... Eleha dey deny masquerade. Plus the poster, and the Rev fathers, and the catholic church itself, what's the difference between them?

You practice a religion that the people that own it deny and even insult at every opportunity. Yet you fight amongst yourself trying to see who's more gullible to the religion. Weird.

I'm sure they'll push the rubbish topic to frontpage on Sunday. Nairaland is gone.

Zonefree:

Correct! Catholic church is just organized paganism

Catholicism is idol and image worshipping practice

Of which we saw that since they left Egypt they did not want God but that does not mean that God will break His covenant with Abraham, so, you are talking rubbish

No different from ogun worship

Truthfully, do you grasp what Quran 9:31 says then seriously can the created subject of God the creator spoil the latter's plan?

Lol... Another dumb f*ck. Abraham is Nigerian nah, abi?

People that own the history are telling you something, you're forming professor and saying something else.

Until Africans come to the realization that Europeans brought Christianity to Africa because it was the only religion that could easily make Africans docile and easy to capture, the better for them.

Sure. That is what it means to be like God. Satan, Eve, Adam, Israel etc prove that. A human being is not a robot.

You guys that venerate a meteorite that apparently is sacred because it fell from heaven or something?

Let me borrow a line from Phyno recent freestyle:

"Talk am as e be, abụrọm onye mgbu ka Reno"

Most religious leaders need to be truthful for once instead of all this shenanigans.

Did the Germans get your head?. Is it the Nigerian op who created Christianity?

Everybody has seen that even when Moses was trying to bring Isreal out, they were against God, so clearly you are talking rubbish.

And another proof that you don't know what you are saying is that you forget that the white bandits had already finished invading and controlling Africa even without Christianity being on ground.

Why not ask questions instead of condemning what you don’t understand..?

If not for Catholic Church that launched crusade some of you would have been Muslims by now ..

If this is from an African man especially traditional worshippers,they will be automatically tagged idolators but everyone is okay with this as long as it comes from white men.

This is idolatry. The Bible is strongly against this.
The Roman Catholic church has been known to go against biblical prescriptions and making their own rules against the Bible for a long time
