So Christ's teachings are the Catholic teachings? really? DoctorAlien biko come and see this guy talking about Catholic teachings being Christ's teachings. imaoo.


Guy, am in a good mood so i will let you off the hook, if not, i would ve taken you on ride, but what for?

No point. Enjoy your evening.

I first heard of this unspeakable evil when i was doing my masters at UNN. If catholic parents allow their children marry an anglican, they were stopped from communion. This is the worst punishment u can give a catholic. It is odd since anglicans and catholics are very close liturgically. I must also state that i haven't seen this rubbish in any catholic church anywhere else in any part of Nigeria apart from the east. I was a catholic for over 30 years and i'm widely travelled within Nigeria. I got to understand why recently. All religious bodies get their most ardent converts from the womb. That is their most fertile conversion ground. Thus, nobody jokes with anything that will interfere with indoctrinating little children. So inter denominational marriages are frowned at. In kano for instance, one of the easiest way to commit suicide is to marry a muslim hausa/fulani girl. They can marry a christian girl who agrees to convert to islam though. If religion was so natural, why do they go to these extreme lengths to fill the minds of the young? Simply because a more mature mind is more inclined to ask questions. Asking questions is the first step to exposing the fraud that is religion.

madgoat:


Christ teachings is the Catholic teachings.

This is so wrong. Catholicism opposes the bible through and through.

ikechizoba:

yes,its similar to what my elder brother said,that Anglicans will be there to do that,but seriously am highly disappointed

Op I am kind of disappointed in you , you claim to be a staunch Catholic but you are sounding like the opposite. The fact that this is happening to you does not mean you should generalise it, there are thousands of catholic priest in Nigeria alone and few of them expecially those based in the rural area could be over zealous with their Catholic faith and this is something you should know as some one who grew up in Catholic Church. My point is that you should limit your grievances as a problem with a particular parish or priest rather than making it sound like it's a general thing . And bringing this issue here wasn't necessary except you had intended for people to come abash the Catholic church.
As for the issue on ground, I would like to ask you, have you ever heard that a Catholic man died and the Catholic Church refused to bury him cause he allowed his kids to marry outside the Catholic Church? Pls have you?

jagugu88li:

Well thats your twisted wrong opinion.
You are entitled to your misconceptions

I am a Catholic and this rule does not apply in my home diocese or in Port Harcourt diocese where I reside. If you are for real,tell us where this happened. I suspect Nsukka diocese sha there's a lot of archaic rules there. Also you made a serious error by saying you want to write to the head of the Catholic Church in Nigeria. Are you sure you are a Catholic? There is no head of the church in Nigeria. You can only have the Head of Catholic Bishop Conference or the Papal nuncio( Pope representative). None of these is the Nigeria head. Every Bishop head's his diocese and is answerable to the Pope directly and no other Nigeria Bishop. So if you want to report write to the Pope directly or through the Papal nuncio. Shalom.

This is bullshit!!!!!!!. I was a full blooded Catholic before I married my husband, an Anglican.My parents are are of the noble order of St John's international (knights) my elder brother is a Catholic priest. My mum was buried 4months ago, priests and the Bishop attended. That you are now an Anglican does not give you the effrontery to start talking bad about the Catholic church.

u re not helping if it is, not Catholic Church practice, advice heron what to do she did not say anything wrong, she only ask for help.if u can't help her abeg wake pass. If u did not experienced it does not mean it is not happening. I remember when my father in law died the children where ask to pay #10,000 by the Father in charge before he will come for the burial, what u should know is it might be peculiar to individual father s

ikechizoba:
I came from a staunch Catholic family, my dad is a knight, he has held many positions in various catholic association, right now he is down with partial stroke for the past nine years now.

In 2014, I got married to my Anglican husband with the full support from my parents,but my daddy's only sister, who lives in the village,was strongly against it,she fought our kinsmen when they secretly anchored our first for the fear of being reported to the church, threatening to report to the parish priest, saying that Catholics are not allowed to marry non Catholics in our village,she went ahead and reported l and my parents to the church.

Due to my dads condition, they couldn't go, so i went alone but was shocked at what the priest told me, he made me choose between the two churches, making it clear that if i wed in Anglican, that I have chosen darkness over light.

To cut the long story short, I successfully got married but my aunt made her own family and our kindred not to attend my traditional marriage, it was rather attended by the non Catholics, and also the church made my parents not to attend my white wedding, that if they attend, that they will not bury them when they die. But now, even without attending my white wedding, the church still insists that they will not bury my parents if they die since they allowed me to marry an Anglican, except if they openly apologize to the whole church.

My question is apologize for what? Please am not trying to paint catholic black, I was a devoted catholic even till now, but this?? pls NL, I need the address to the head of catholic church in Nigeria,I need answer to this please question

Tell them to provide a warranty that whoever they bury will go to heaven. Imagine rough play

what kind of a backward village are you from? One of my relatives got married to an Anglican in 1986 and nobody ever mentioned sanctions. it was only her mother who grumbled a bit then kept quiet. I heard such things were done in the past but I have not encountered it. The Catholic Church approves of mixed marriages.

You should have gone to see the Bishop. In fact you can still go now smh

A lot of things are sickening about this story! First you all say muslims are lost and now all other non-catholic denominations are in the darkness. Next being a catholic means you can only marry a catholic - where on earth is that coming from! Then the threats of not burying your parents - when did burying a heap of dust require the special services of the church!

This is madness among so called Christians that make Atheism quite attractive.

I read a bit and saw Anambra? Huuu? 3 diocese;It cannot be Onitsha Archdiocese(I have been there since I was 10 till I got married and joined Owerri) I have a cousin that married an Anglican and her sister,a Rev Sis even attended the wedding. No issues.

Nnewi diocese- I'm sure Nna Ora cannot condone such. If you report this today,the priest will be put in his lane today.

Awka diocese- Was there as a child and my 5yrs in Uni. I have no idea what they do there.

Na you sabi ooo....

But remember... WA LA TAMU TU NA ILLA WA ANTUM MUSLIMUN...

DIE NOT EXCEPT AS A MUSLIM....

WITH THAT, U WILL BE SAVED...

ikechizoba:


my brother,l haven't..l wish my parents long life,till when God calls them back,and they go on with their threat,that is when we will act.... besides,they all think alike, thanks for your concern

You shouldn't worry yourself with who buries your parents, the dead doesn't bother about the body but the soul, but it is really painful when a church you served with all ur heart, turns to harm you, as for that your aunt, she is disappointed that you got married, but don't worry about anybody because God himself is the owner of life and destiny.

analice107:

I was born a Catholic. My Dad was also a Knight, he is late now.

As i was growing, i became very inquisitive, asking questions. My questions actually stems from the kind of dreams i was having. I was having dreams of rapture continuously. In Catholic Church, we were taught Pogatory, not Rapture, this kept me curious.
I needed answers, there was no one to talk to, so i started seeking. Just like the Bible said 'He that seeks shall find', I found answers out of Catholic Church, so i left.
Am a Pentecostal now.

But, some years back, a Catholic man came to marry me, here were his conditions.

1. Return to Catholic Church.

2. Go back to your parish, meet your parish priest. explain yourself and apologize.

3. Your Dad will pay up all the dues which have accrued to you from when you left.

4. Then i will marry you in my Church, he said. (Catholic)

With the knowledge of the Bible i now have, i told him no. I saw him as a religious man, not a Christian. In all he said, i didn't see any iota of Christianity in him

Religion is plunging us back into what Christ saved us from. HATE, SELF, MALICE, SEGREGATION, AND HAUGHTINESS. All these are satanic traits.

You see, in this life, we came alone and we shall go back alone. Don't let Dogma put in place by men, keep you down.

Love is Christ's only message on earth.

Love is the opposite of Pride. Pride is selective, Love is not.

Ask yourself this my dearest, what Law as far as Christ's teachings are concerned, have you defaulted? and what law did your parents who for all their lives have been good Catholics living according her dogmas done to be shunned?

Wait, does Christ shun anyone? If Christ shuns anyone, which of us will even be alive today?

My dearest, let this hang over your head, If you are a Christian, then find out what Christ says about anything before you do them, and if you are right, pls do it irrespective of what people will say, because ultimately, it is Christ who died for you, you owe, not anyman.


Your parents will die, the Anglican Church can bury your Dad. be concern about his soul when he dies, not his carcass which shall remain in the dust.

Shalom.

Answers to what were you actually searching for?

"You were taught purgatory not rapture."You were no paying attention in church if not you wouldn't have written that.

You don't need to cook up lies just to make your story interesting. Telling me that a man that wants to marry you made such demands especially 2&3 is absurd.

And your Pentecostal church doesn't segregate?

Are you ok at all or angry because you're one of the religious maggots,so pained that she exposed Some of the priests stupid acts to the world cos I'm sure that's never written anywhere in Catholic rules and regulations?

NwaAmaikpe:


I'm sure your parents regret having you...for costing them so much.

superior1:
Roman Catholics aren't Christians. Ask your parents to leave idol worshipping and embrace Christ.

You don't need a church denomination to get them buried.

So who are Christians?

Bjgirl1:

Have you ever wondered why despite the criticisms and condemnations of the Catholic church by the so called Pentecostals etc, she continues to grow from strength to strength.

Answer: This is because it is the Church founded by Jesus, by God and not the mere mushrooms we have today founded by men who tell the gullible what they want to hear and not the truth. In as much as some people could be so extreme with their beliefs, its irrational for people to generalize an individual experience to the whole.

Op I am kind of disappointed in you , you claim to be a staunch Catholic but you are sounding like the opposite.

You need to ask around and travel a bit more... it happened in my village and was very appalling, the priest didnt come for the burial and the Catholics stayed away

Catholics are not Christians anyway.

This is a common practice among Catholic churches in my village,it has always been like that even before I was born,but the youths are trying to come out of it but we are being choked by our elders in the church.l was a devoted Catholic,l headed alot of group in the church especially during my uni date,my slang then was "born a Catholic,die a Catholic", that was me then till God changed my mentality,l loved being a Catholic and still do but the people there makes things difficult and rigid

Anu ofia!must you comment?

jagugu88li:
I am very sorry for coming out hard on you, the word Catholic makes me boil. Knights have that effect, they dispose of you once you are done carring out what they say "oughts to be done".....and sorry your dad had to learn the hard way.

Thank you

sister, please help me highlight the part where l said any bad thing against the Catholic Church,that they supported you, doesn't mean that it applies to everyone.This is my story and not tales by moonlight,it happened and not quite long,and is still happening,and l also know that most Catholic Churches allow marriages btw Catholics and non Catholics,even my church in the city allows that but we must do our clearance,that is where the village church comes in,they so their things differently and we are made to abide in it

[quote author=sunny15 post=58260703]Hmm.. If I start to talk.. A neighbor of mine, the church refused to give her parents holy communion until they made a public apology.
Mine, when I saw their wahala was too much for me, I went to wed in another church.. Can't shout abeg[/quote

Thank you very much,that is what they do,my parents didn't attend my wedding and yet they are expected to make a public apology,.In my next world,l would love to be a Catholic,over and over again,just that we are being too extreme, replacing the love,the oneness and the spirit of apostolate that comes with being a Catholic,with hatred,pride,envy and lgnorance

I've edited my post. got nothing against Catholic church because my best friend was a member before she left,she wedded there but married to a redeemed member and when her mom died,Catholic did the burial without no problem, 1st reply was directed to that person saying she's a disgrace to her parents, I wasn't referring to Catholic church as a whole but some of the extremist priests, I still believe that's never Catholic rules and regulations.

Exactly,it's not applicable to all.

zinachidi:
it's not a general catholic thing, I'm a catholic, but my church allows inter denominational marriages,. hope u get good advices here though, cos I can't be of much help.

CECEOO:
how can i get the catechism. i love knowledge alot. u can inbox me ur number

Any Catholic book shop should have copies, they are located in church premises. If you're in Lagos,the Pauline's book shop located in St Leos catholic church toyin street Ikeja has a throve of goodies to keep you busy #smiles

Have you asked why 85% of Nairaland Atheists are Catholics by birth and by up bringing? Find out why they are turning to Satanism, unanswered questions.

Lies and made up story just to get to front page.

This is totally unbelievable, i was also a catholic but to me this is false. In the Catholic Church, u don't even need ur parents to get married, u need godparents cos they believe any body of marriageable age can make decisions even though they encourage parental consent which is vital to d success of the marriage. That they will not buty ur parent in d church cos of the decision u took and banning ur parents frm attending ur wedding is totally unbelievable as much as I don't want to term u a liar, my dad is a marriage counselor, he attended my wedding even though it wasn't a catholic wedding, he advised but left me to make my decision and he is still a marriage counselor till date in the Catholic Church. I don't know what u hv against the church but this your post is misleading and outrageous

Missonas:
Your peoples interpretation of our doctrines and practices is worrisome. Look at what is happening in Ahiara. Im a catholic. My sisters married non catholics in the catholic church that are presently not practicing. Nobody is disturbing anybodys right to worship. My parents are not being threatened unnecessarily.

You did no wrong sis! Its even in the bible. Im just sad that teaching ur hubby about our doctrine or even converting him nw will be difficult with all hes seeing.Keep praying for your parents. Let another priest be aware of whats going on. Your aunty should remember she also has children. I detest hypocrites! God will definitely intervene. Dont loose faith!

Just when I thought I have seen it all. So you mean to imply that a Catholic lady should seek to 'convert' the husband even when he is a Christian? How is your Jesus different from the one in other denominations? The emboldened in your words only goes ahead to confirm my fears, the Catholic Church is a very dangerous cult where dogma reigns supreme.

Ishilove:

*permission* So I need permission from my church to marry a Christian? Smh

My dear, I just weak pieces.
