If Reverend Alia was openly supporting Giringori and Onyaiken was calling for his suspension, we both know that Onyaiken and not Reverend Alia would have been the one being insulted by your obidients.

Cardinal Onaiyekan is not "Calling for his suspension". Alia has already been suspended, he was suspended May 2022 when he went to pick form to contest. His suspension has nothing to do with Peter Obi, he contravened Canon law when he went into partisan politics

FSBoperator:
So why is Onyaiken crying now?

I didn't hear him "crying", he was asked a question in an interview about Alia and he responded clearly that Alia was suspended for entering into politics. As simple as ABC

FSBoperator:
A priest can not go on sabbatical .

He arranged with his bishop to suspend him so he can contest and protect his flock with political power.

The only issue here is that Onyaiken is not happy with the good Reverend's political alignment.

Well, my original post states clearly that Alia must resign from any engagement he was involved in so as to concentrate as being an executive governor .

There is no arrange anywhere. That is what you dont understand. By entering into politic he committed a derelict according to Canon law and the penalty is suspension! He didn't arrange he was punished

Can. 285 §1. Clerics are to refrain completely from all those things which are unbecoming to their state, according to the prescripts of particular law.

§2. Clerics are to avoid those things which, although not unbecoming, are nevertheless foreign to the clerical state.

§3. Clerics are forbidden to assume public offices which entail a participation in the exercise of civil power.



Can. 287 §1. Most especially, clerics are always to foster the peace and harmony based on justice which are to be observed among people.

§2. They are not to have an active part in political parties and in governing labor unions unless, in the judgment of competent ecclesiastical authority, the protection of the rights of the Church or the promotion of the common good requires it.



So as you can see, the bishops refused to grant him permission, instead they suspended him

Good...

Carry out your revenge and stop making noise.

You are just a bitter Yoruba Muslim ranting and spreading tribalism 24hrs on nairaland

Ko ni yé e . O ni sun si ibi asọ e wa

Holinest:
I want to ask Nairaland MODs. Why is it that Muslims can make posts and comment and insult the Christian institutions and leaders all in the name of Political comments. But Christians have some level of restrictions to comment on Muslim posts?

This is injustice.

Freedom of speech you tyrant

comodo:
Go back to which church? Under which diocese?? Let me educate you small. In the Catholic Church, the priest is like a tenant in a parish. The Bishop is the landlord. Your parish church is under the Bishop. So you as a priest na just missionary you be If the Bishop say leave na leave u dey go oh.

No Bishop asked him to leave the Church

He's still a Priest

When he finish ruling, he will go back to the church

Mjshexy:
G Naturally, i would assume you aren't referring to our most distinguished and highly respected Cardinal Onaiyekan, because he obviously cannot be one of those cunning rag tag so called men of god parading themselves out there who are solely after money.

If mad man supports your Messiah he automatically becomes intelligent person. Well understood sir.

It takes incredible sacrifice for someone like the cardinal to go against the current political establishment.

Given how tinubu likes to spend money on sycophants, buying loyalty up and down, it would have been very easy for the cardinal to support him and he would get more money from tinubu than you will ever see in your lifetime.

Tinubu would do anything to get support from a well respected cleric like onaiyekan.

But the cardinal refused to be bought. He cared enough about your future.

The cardinal is a patriot and a man of integrity.
You unfortunately are not.

Ubenedictus:
who is Okpaleke where Onaiyekan is? You dont know there are ranks even among cardinals?
Alia has been suspended by his bishop.

His Bishop has the right to suspend him. Onayeikan had retired. The highest ranking is His Eminence Okpaleke

FSBoperator:
Pathetic.

Go and take a bed at yaba left.
Too many of your type is the reason we have people like tinubu in power.
