Very beautiful ..but will definitely be filled with images,..that is my problem.

I am a born Catholic but stop attending when I got tired of battling with my conscience wether prostrating Infront of those images is right or wrong, and praying to Mary was one other doctrine I could not understand...but I am still in love with Catholic hymns so much..in fact I listen to hymns almost every night while I sleep off...

God bless the Pope and give him the wisdom to reduce those images and also abolish the prayer to Mary and other saints so that I can return back to my Catholic..

Who re u? That d church will do all that to accommodate u?. May u find peace in ur current place of worship. God is God.

Pilate2016:

I believe you should rather try to study more on the church doctrines than just trying to condemn them via lack of proper knowledge.
Bowing down to someone or something doesn't automatically means you are worshipping them else those bowing to the Obas, Igwes, the National Assembly Maze, etc are guilty. Thanks

U ARE VERY WRONG PLS, HIS CONSCIENCE HAS ALREADY DONE D JOB FOR HIM. MARY DIDN'T PROVIDE SALVATION FOR HUMANITY, SO ITS PROPER FALSE DOCTRINE AND MISLEADING SINCE 600AD. ONE PURE REASON, ARCHBISHOP LUTHER D GREAT LEFT D CHURCH. BUT WE CAN NOT CONDEMN THEM FOR D PRACTICE OF IMAGE WORSHIPPING,WHICH IS IDOLATROUS AND AGAINST SCRIPTURE.

It is plainly written in Exodus 20:4. You shall not make any graven images or bow to them.....

Those in authority and alive we may bow, prostrate for to respect their leadership positions but not to pray to them as we do God!

Even when the leaders now pass away, you don't make images of them and bow or pray to them, or do we?

E.g... I can kneel or bow to the Pope while alive as a sign of respect but when he dies, it is a sin to be bowing or prostrating to be praying to him for answering prayers when he clearly has no power to do so

You did the right thing. Worshipping/praying to Mary or any images is all shades of wrong. That's idolatry imo

Catholic are the original Christians

Nobody is interested in your fake story. You were never a Catholic.

God bless you for this statement. a real Catholic wont be stating that trash.

same thing is Jesus too

We are known for having the best worship center, nothing more...

Hmm St Theresa has really changed o! Last time i was there was in my first year in 1997. What a journey it has been.

I felicitate with Nsukka Diocece but that structure no near Holy Trinity Cathedral Onitsha with its Gothic Architecture and glory pride of East of The Niger.

How many images are in Catholic church sef? Apart from Jesus crucifix, which other one do you bow down to? You're never a good Catholic

My problem with all these big big cathedrals and mosques is they spend millions to build them and still go there to pray for jobs. Why not build companies that can employ people or even sponsor businesses with all this monies ?? God does not dwell in tents made with hands. Our hearts is what He needs.

you can have a moderate place or worship but not spending all this millions on structures. God even wants His people to live better lives. Use the money to make the lives of people better

Pilate2016:


And Solomon made images of the Cherubim for the church in Jerusalem. Is the Bible now contradictory?
Brother, you don't interpret the Bible literally and many laws giving in the old testament were for a reason.
If we are to go literally, we are all guilt cos you too have your image somewhere.

Old testament you said bro give yourself brain.

Stop displaying your ignorance publicly

The truth is bitter to swallow so deal with it. I know them very well

Ozmar:
We keep building the largest church structures in West Africa and even globally, yet, no job for the teeming youth population. Talk of misplaced priorities.

shut up, when Solomon build a temple (with Gold) for God, were all Israelites employed? When did it become the periority of the church to provide employment for the citizens?

My people perish for lack of knowledge. They keep building edifices but neglect building men. The curruption that is in the heart of members is allowed to fester without hindrance while there is pretence of worship. For we are saved by grace through faith and not of works let's any man should boast. But catholics will say I'm proudly catholic. Ignorance and deception in high places. Wake up.

Abuse the pope and they will come for your head but comedians will use the name of Jesus Christ to make comedy some use it as exclamations and they don't blink an eyelid. Not only them though, many other Christians are equally guilty. How easy it is to know where their loyalty is.

Beautiful edifice, nice one

So, what exactly does bowing down to a graven image mean or signify??! Felicitation?!!

you can't choose to love it's hymn and hate their doctrines! It's either u are in or out, u can't be hot and cold @ the same time. For the record, Catholic Church is way older than all your ancestors put together so your leaving the Church will not make it change it's doctrines and teachings! I wish you well in your new found faith, and I pray you encounter Christ and also know that the church is in the mind and not what u see. Peace be with u!!! I'm a proud Catholic.... Born, Baptized, Confirmed, and by his grace will be married in the Catholic Church too.

Stop deceiving yourself

He was, probably still is... He merely became a more enlightened, spiritual, and wise Catholic.

Guys look out, James Nwafor is a catholic.
Possibly he worships there.

I agree with you but what annoy me more is when they see traditional worshipers they will be quick to castigate them

Ever8090:
but the Bible said we should not carve any image not to talk of bowing to it...

good answer from you to him. they will never agree

Bowing in greeting is different from bowing in worship. To postrate to greet is not an act of worship or making prayers or the dignitaries intermediaries between God and man as Catholic do to Mary.

A building meant for some but not for all.......
Stop investing in buildings, invest in humans.

Many churches invest in people now except you don't go to church.

edoairways:

Most Catholics worship Mary

we don't worship Mary but honor her as the mother of our lord and savior Jesus Christ! Even the angel Gabriel acknowledged her as the queen of heaven when he said to her "Hail Mary full of grace the lord is with thee blessed are thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus" I think u should look for angel Gabriel and ask him why he greeted her in such a way! I honor Mary I don't worship her, get that into ur head.

Religion has dealt with black race completely!! While some patients are dying daily cause of poor health facility!! I'm not against building house of worship! That money used to build that big mansion will go a long way to better the life of poormaners
