There's one thing i love about you, you are always talking about the bible, not defending church doctrine like others. It shows you want to know the truth from God yourself and serve Him truthfully. I can be it that you will not remain a Roman Catholic for long if you continue reading your bible and asking the Holy Spirit to help you. My prayer for you is that God will give you the grace to find Him and have a person enconter with the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.
I have had a very personal encounter with my God, Jesus Christ and it happened with me being a Catholic. The Catholic church has every thing I need to make heaven. I'm not interested in miracles or signs and wonders, just want to live a good Christian life which I will achieve as a Catholic.

1. Rich English men, Anglican, Baptist, Methodist stayed in the West. Poor Irish men moved east then.
2. Yoruba can't keep worshiping man like Pope when Eledumare, Eleda exists.
3. Yorubas are born spiritual
4. White Garment church is the continuation of Yorubas' spirituality in the Lord.
5. Yorubas are different and very special to Almighty.
5. Finally, there are lot of Yoruba Catholic members and priests e.g, Cardinal Onaaiyekan, Alaba Job, etc.
Yorubas are also so liberal that they can easily change denomination or religion without complaining from other family members.

Every Yoruba's town get Catholic Church and members!

@op, do you want to start Catholics, Anglican wars that dominate East in the West?

@Op, I am a yoruba and a proud Catholic. My parents have always been Catholic. Same with my maternal grandparents. I have a Bro who is a Catholic priest and distant relations who are priests as well. And am not from Ekiti but from the state of the living spring. We have so many yoruba catholics, priests and bishops (11) both in Lagos and in the hinterland. We are not noisemakers like the other denominations. My faith in Jesus Christ and my whole life has been shaped by the Catholic Church. I am a proud Catholic and forever will be. Also, I did my nysc in the north and there are many northern catholics and priests even in places as far as katsina.
The Catholic Church is universal.
God bless you

The only way to get real money through church business is by having personal church.

The catholic priests are mostly censored by their bishops regularly, as I was told.


They told you a lie.....who censors the activity of Mbaka and Munso, ede et all ....majority of the Catholic priest will be fish out of water without the Catholic Church because they are not called but just fulfilling family desires ...every calling goes with blessings for empowerment......those with calling but Catholics have found ways of fulfilling their destiny ...e.g. Fr Ozele.....he is a teacher

Funny how u people twist and turn every issue...just like liars. I said get a bible and read it. The Romans didn't write the scripture, they only corrupted it with their pagan rituals. The English protestants translated the bible to exposed Roman Catholic idolatory. [/b]Need i say that the practised con men renamed their idols with the names of apostles and their images. Now go and tell your Father confessor what i said.

The romans didn't write a scripture and yet the English Protestants translated the bible to expose catholic idolatry. I have never been so confused in my entire life as I am right now.! But the bible said [b]"Nothing should be added or retracted from the bible"


Don't let sentiment or your emotions becloud your reasoning young man or lady. It's plain igorance on anyone's part to claim the Catholic Church approves idolatry. If you celebrate Christmas, Celebrate Easter, Have your church service on Sunday and read the bible then you have no moral right to talk against the Catholic Church.

Miracles and signs? If God decides to show you His awesome power, He will not ask you whether you are interested or not. By the way, you are sorrounded by signs and wonders everyday. Look around you and consider how the heaven and earth were set. The faithful sun rising in the East every morning and setting in the West every evening. You don't need to see someone fall in the church and twist on the floor to witness a miracle. May the peace of Christ Jesus be with you.

Let me say one more thing.
People probably hate the Catholic church because they think we worship idols.
But let me tell you this, do you know that money, power and fame has become some people's idols

I observed that too

Yoruba's and igbos are miracle mongers.. You will always see them in noise making churches falling down into and out of annoiting.. They dont like how Catholics quietly and mannerfully pray.. We belive in the powers of the blessed sacrament which still works wonders... Proud Catholic


Nonsense ,ther is nothing like the blessed sacrament or you know where the apostles talked about some golden plates and spoons and weird designed as the heart of Jesus?


The apostles prayed on the day of Pentecost and everyone could hear them speak in tongue....they prayed and sang loud enough for the prison warden to hear them.........stop your nonsense you call blessed Sakpa........we are the main thing ....humans not objects .......the Holy Spirit came down on the apostles and not into images and gold colored irons and steel objects.

You think Catholics don't read their Bible. Is OK.
But you know why I love the Catholic church, because the church is not just a church. It's an institution, an institution that conducts research, provides education and takes care of the needy.
FYI, that Bible which you are always talking about, saying is it in the Bible, if you didn't know the Catholic church has all the original manuscript and has read it back to back before giving it to you.
So stop complaining that we don't read the Bible, we practically made it, through the insprition of the Holy Spirit.
Have a wonderful day

Same reason Igbos are few in Anglican church and Baptist church. The church they came in contact with mostly in the west were the British Baptist and Anglican church. The Igbos on the other hand came in contact with and embraced the Catholic church
this is the problem with the internet. Innocent people who want to learn easily get misinformed because people like you always try to make impressions which are far from reality

Since when did speaking in tongues become a criteria to make heaven
Bro please, I believe in speaking in tongues but I also believe it is a gift which only the Holy Spirit can give in the right circumstance. It's not cool to go about speaking gibberish and say you are speaking in tongues
With the issue of infant baptism, we believe Christ as God made man knew when he was going to die but if you have a child today, there's no guarantee that child will live long enough before he becomes old enough to decide if he wants to be baptized.
So the natural thing a loving parent will do is to make the decision for them.

To an extent I like the way yorubas are structutured, the are more libral than any other ethnic group in Nigeria. The have large number of muslims, Christain and traditional worshipers and yet hardly discriminate though when I was serving in one western state the Christains there complain of marginalization by the muslims. Even there different christain dorminations are some how balanced. But Igbos are mainly Catholic and conservative
A tribalist will not agree with you.it is in the west you see smooth blending of arabian,european and african style.

Yorubas don't like Rome again as Fulani Arabs Herdsmen are luring them to Saudi Arabia.
Tinubu and APC Governors are now corruptly blinded.
The Governors can't control Yoruba lands for The Yorubas without permission from The Caliphate and General Bubu. They don't even respect their own Traditional Rulers again.
So no Time to think about Revd.Father or Pope in Yoruba lands again.

A Yoruba Pope was to be before Pope John but was rigged in favor of John. That Case is before The Judgement Seat and Christ is The Advocate in the case right now.

Op. Before concluding, do a proper research. In Ekiti where I was born there are more than 140 towns each with a catholic church and a Yoruba parish priest. In Akure (Ondo state) as a student of Sacred Heart seminary I attended Holy Ghost Conference in 1996 where more than 500 priest, Monsignor and Bishops from Southwest gather and 99.9% of them are Yorubas.
virtually all yoruba towns have a Catholic parish just like every town in yoruba land has a central mosque that is always located close to the oba's palace!
