I see. You only want to discuss with people that will say "because they are hypocrites," right?

That's the problem with the world. People only tolerate their own opinions and those of their supporters...even if it's wrong or ignorant.

That's why Boko Haram exist.

The CSN is the right body to ask. It represents the Catholic Church in Nigeria.

It's the best way to get the answer to your question.

But I wont be surprised if you prefer ignorant assumptions.

italo:
That's more like it.

Now I guess you can ask the CSN why they didn't disagree with Fr Mbaka when he supported Jonathan.

The Catholic Church has washed its hands off the ongoing controversy over the strong criticism of President Goodluck Jonathan by Rev Father Ejike Mbaka of Adoration Ministries in Enugu, accusing him of double-speaking.

The church said it did not authorise Mbaka to speak on its behalf, insisting that it is wrong for Mbaka to endorse the president and later warn the electorate not to vote for him during the February 14 presidential poll.

The church added that it did not have an official position on whose candidate the Catholic faithful should vote for, saying that as the largest Christian group, it is illogical for it to direct members to vote for certain candidates as the voters have the prerogative to exercise their inalienable rights in such a situation.

A catholic faithful, Mr Callistus Ebue, disclosed this during an interview with Leadership last night in Enugu.

He said, “The Catholic Church did not authorise Rev Father Mbaka to speak on its behalf. There is no way the church, with millions of its members, make a pronouncement on who to vote for during the February 14 presidential election. The church does not have an official position in this regard. The decision to vote for any candidate is the prerogative right of the church faithful just like any other Nigerian.”

While some of the Catholics in Enugu argue that Mbaka might have been led by the Holy Spirit in his pronouncement over Jonathan’s re-election bid, others said that the cleric ought not to have dabbled into the murky waters of politics.

According to a Catholic knight, Sir Abuchi Anueghiagu, Mbaka was initially inspired by the Holy Spirit to endorse the re-election of Jonathan, saying, however, that whatever Mbaka pronounced during his homily at the Adoration Ministries ground on December 31, 2014, was also a function of the leading of the Holy Spirit.

According to him, as an ordained priest in charge of a parish, Christ the King Parish, and the spiritual director of Adoration Ministries, nobody is qualified to challenge any sermon he delivers from the altar.

But another knight of the Catholic Church who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity condemned Mbaka of speaking from both sides of his mouth.

He said that having previously blessed Jonathan on his re-election bid, he ought not to have made a volte-face. He advised priests to be cautions of their pronouncements from the altar, as whatever they say has a way of affecting their followers either negatively or positively.

The Catholic bishop of Enugu Diocese, Rev Dr Calistus Onaga, could not be reached at the time of filing this report last night.

Which of the Bold is the "Catholic Church" that disagreed with Fr Mbaka?

italo:
The Catholic Church has not said anything about Fr Mbaka to the public. Simple.

If you have anything to prove me wrong, present it here.

italo:
The Catholic Church has not made an official statement.

Fr Mbaka's Bishop has not made an official statement.

So stop making ignorant assumptions.

Wow! I don't know the God you serve, but the God I serve is not confused, already knows the outcome, and never talks from both sides. Frankly, I can care less what you and your fake prophet have to say, a retired warlord can never rule me a child of God. The spirit of God is never confused, so whatever you people worship goodluck!

anwser one: she is a woman.
anwser two: why shud that matter? Whether she is a family friend, family, gf, ex or whatever! No woman should talk like that. It's an insult!!!

italo:
How do you know they didnt disagree?

What if they did privately...because that story wasn't as publicized as this his last sermon.

Bitterleafsoup:
Yes, but it was not used as a tool for Political propaganda like it was this time. Did you not read where he said himself that he tried to get her number, and she rebuked all his calls?

The difference between you and some of us is that we simply have values

Of what use is a bribe of 100M that will have to be repaid back in folds via embezzlement.

Do you honestly think those that donated 21BN to GEJ's campaign did so because they love him?

Bitterleafsoup:
How do you know they were aware of it?

The media didn't hype the news when he supported GEJ

Fhemmmy:
Chairman, the guy knows the password of Nigerians, give them some money and they will sell their votes . . . . So sad but it is true, and since he is incharge of the money to fund such hand out . . . . I hope and pray that Nigerians will vote with their heart this time and not with their stomach.

win1234:
why must we Christians be washing our dirty linen in public. God help ur church in Nigeria. Destroy the spirit of denominationalism & tribalism & make us one in spirit.
