PROLOGUE:
A DIALOGUE
OVERHEARD IN HELL
An armed robber who died on
active service found himself in front of Lucifer, the Prince of Hell. He was
hailed as an exemplary ambassador who had done very well while on earth. He had
despatched hundreds of souls who were not given time to repent and so was
placed nearest the top echelon of the executive class, as a Superintendent -
Grade 1. While on a guided tour of his area of command, he saw two of the mass
servers in his former parish. Surprised finding them here after their pious
services at all liturgical celebrations; he queried them with an air of
authority.
“What are you
two doing here?” “King Kong!” (For that was his popular nickname
on earth) “Paddy, Na-waoh! Na so we
see-a-moh- ooh! We stole and drank more altar wine than all the priests and
bishops did in five years during our six months service as altar boys. The wine
was not only sweet but also very intoxicating. We died on our way to hospital because
of a fatal accident we had after the Good Friday vigil mass. It was our last
bout of twenty litres of the red Italian brew!”
“Sorry, so you common thieves pretended that you were good boys! Who
said that armed robbers were worse? Yeah, the Catechist.”
They cut in, “Sh-sh – that Parish
Catechist you’re talking about is down here in a hotter part of this inferno!”
As, if in doubt, he called
out to the elderly man to taunt him. “Baba-a
how now?” To his greatest amazement, he was informed that the Parish Priest
that officiated at his wedding was still far down below. He protested to his
tour guide, “No, this is injustice! How
can my friend, ‘the man of God’ we all revered on earth be condemned to hell
after his twenty-five years meritorious service as a Rev. Father on earth? No,
something’s wrong here!”
He only sobered when the
priest responded thus: “King Kong, my
dear, the Archbishop who ordained me is even farther down below and he arrived
before all of us. He was the Vice Chancellor of the University of Satan I attended. We
are graduates of the seminaries where they taught the art of preaching,
deception and subterfuge! He holds three doctorate degrees! One of them, a
post-doctoral, he earned in sexual promiscuity.”
The Archbishop was in so
much pain, he just kept mute!
Now, refresh your mind with
what earned Phinehas, the son of Aaron, the special favour of God that turned
away his wrath from the idolatrous and promiscuous life they turned into while
he delivered them from Egypt:
Numbers 25:1-15
25:1
While Israel was
staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with Moabite
women,
2 who
invited them to the sacrifices to their gods. The people ate and bowed down
before these gods.
3 So Israel
joined in worshipping the Baal of Peor. And the LORD's anger burned against
them.
4 The
LORD said to Moses, "Take all the leaders of these people, kill them and
expose them in broad daylight before the LORD, so that the LORD's fierce anger
may turn away from Israel."
5 So
Moses said to Israel's
judges, "Each of you must put to death those of your men who have joined
in worshipping the Baal of Peor."
6
Then an Israelite man brought to his family a Midianite woman right before the
eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel
while they were weeping at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
7
When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left
the assembly, took a spear in his hand
8 and
followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear through both of them--
through the Israelite and into the woman's body. Then the plague against the
Israelites was stopped;
9 but
those who died in the plague numbered 24,000.
10
The LORD said to Moses,
11
"Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my
anger away from the Israelites; for he was as zealous as I am for my honour
among them, so that in my zeal I did not put an end to them.
12
Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him.
13 He
and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood, because he
was zealous for the honour of his God and made atonement for the
Israelites."
14
The name of the Israelite who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri son
of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite family.
15
And the name of the Midianite woman who was put to death was Cozbi daughter of
Zur, a tribal chief of a Midianite family.
I have no commentary to add. If the cap fits your
head, then wear it!
This association is the Phinehas
of this century and has a duty to perform.
You can also add ‘the son of
Kenez’ in place of ‘son of Eleazar’ or Aaron!
FOREWORD
CLERICAL CELIBACY HAS OUT-LIVED ITS USEFULNESS
There was a time when
Catholic Reverend Fathers and Reverend Sisters on missionary services in this
country were really admired, respected and idolised! That was in my teens when
the Late Bishop Shanahan was still an ordinary priest! Rev. Fr. Bindel was the
Parish Priest of Ihiala, then a very large area extending as far away as Emekuku,
Orlu and Oguta! They rode long distances on Hercules bicycles carrying out
their evangelistic duties. They trekked most of the time and made converts by
using the very few semi-literate natives as their interpreters!
These interpreters were
later promoted to Catechists and soon wielded much power! They taught pagans
catechism classes in the vernacular language and only those they certified as
having passed their examinations were baptised. They stood between every
catechumen and the sacraments of baptism, confession, confirmation, matrimony
and even the irregular reception of the Holy Eucharist! You could neither see
any Rev. Fr. nor receive any of these sacraments without greasing their palms!
No girls or women ever came close to the parish houses, not to mention having
handshakes with any priest!
The Rev. Sisters wore
sparkling ankle-length white gowns and their head-gear with a tall hood and
overflowing veils covered every part of their heads except for just the outline
of their faces. I never saw their ears! To us little urchins at the turn of the
century, they were angels. After all the pictures in our catechism, classes
were made of white skins. They were all white women. We never dreamt that we
would, in later years, have our own black sisters and daughters qualified to
become Rev. Sisters. No one ever imagined that a black skinned woman could ever
be dressed like these white angels. These angels were our earliest teachers, nurses,
midwives and doctors. They ran the few mission schools and hospitals that were
then in existence at Ihiala and Emekuku. We adored and loved them for their
motherly care but, at the same time, we hated their injection needles!
We were told that both the
priests and nuns were virgins. It was even rumoured that they had no sexual
parts to their bodies. They were ‘castrated’ was the naïve belief that made the
rumour rounds then! We assumed that the nuns had neither breasts nor large
buttocks like our mothers and aunts! How were we to find out? The priests were
covered all over with their flowing white soutanes that they never put off in
our presence. “Did they ever urinate or defecate?” we wondered! I never saw any
of them in short knickers although I was a mass server for several years at St Martin’s Parish, Odo-ata Ihiala,
now in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State. In addition, we never saw
the ears, necks and feet of the nuns. During clinical attendance they wore
gloves, so we were partially denied seeing their hands and fingers. “Did these
ladies know how to cook?” we pondered!
That the priests were chaste
and the nuns, virgins, were assumed! We never saw the priests and nuns chat
together, hug each other or stroll along any road side by side. They were discreet
and circumspect. They were conscious of their vows of celibacy and public image
knowing that they were continuously being watched day and night. So, they never
scandalised us nor gave us the chance to suspect them! That was in the early 1930s
and 1940s. We gradually began to notice that many nuns went on leaves that were
termed “annual” and understand why some others that lasted beyond twelve months
that were termed “sudden”, “casual” or “sick.” Soon, our own sons and daughters
were admitted into seminaries and convents. By the 1950s, some were ordained
and professed respectively. This first set never scandalised us! We never
suspected that they could lower the standards set by these missionary white
angels! That was before the Nigeria-Biafra civil war that lasted from 1967 to
1970.
All that changed as the
scales fell off our eyes. Our religious blinkers were forcibly removed by what
we saw during the civil war at the few Caritas Feeding Centres that we
naturally located within the parish premises. We saw a lot. Some printable,
others not whisperable! Promiscuity was the mildest term for describing what
the refugee women described as own contributions to the war effort! Our
clergymen and women were the butt of their sexual exploits as relief items
like; stockfish, egg-yolk and milk were exchanged for amorous relationships.
“Have they also eaten the
forbidden fruit” was the mildest joke about what we knew was happening. The war
unmasked everyone. Today, my ten-year-old niece knows that priests are anything
but celibate! Most mass servers can swear that beside heterosexual indulgence
involving widows, married and unmarried women in our parishes, our
self-professed celibates clandestinely practise homosexualism and lesbianism!
It is no longer news that paedophilia is the scourge of the Catholic clergy in
the United States of America. Nor is it news here in Africa that our own brothers and
sisters, ‘self-proclaimed celibates’, have secret wives and husbands with their
illicit children tucked away in remote villages and the dark alleys of streets
in our urban areas!
Even among our Protestant
communities, legally married pastors indulge in adulterous relationships
without any qualms of conscience. Prominent television evangelists are now
caught pants down at brothels. In the Catholic hierarchy, most of our so-called
celibates, males and females, are not only promiscuous, but revel in homosexual
and lesbian relationships. Some are pathological Casanovas and Nymphomaniacs!
Hell is let loose as most of the demons there are now living in our parishes and
convents. It is more of a rat race than an epidemic! There seems to be gold,
silver and bronze prizes reserved for those who excel in this sexual revolution
among our celibate community! In addition, no one wants to be left behind to
pick up a bronze medal! Some have secretly fathered children and are using
church funds to maintain them. The female celibates go on the pill or commit
abortion monthly, dilatation & curettage being their favourite option!
Others build houses and sponsor their concubines in tertiary education. The
‘been-tos’ among them send their girlfriends overseas for summer holidays.
Others receive and entertain their white girlfriends, right here in Nigeria!
No one seems to be bothered
by this anomaly. Recently, however, some local ordinaries were forced to set up
special diocesan tribunals to investigate some of the reports they received
from parishioners who are the victims of this immoral revolution! Some married
women have lost their husbands to some pretty and sensuous Rev. Sisters!
Equally, some members of the C.M.O, whose wives have been snatched by vivacious
and amorous Rev. Fathers, are also complaining. Who can redeem us from these
demonic onslaughts?
The association for the
abrogation of celibacy in the Catholic Church is the answer! Their Animator
International states that
“Celibacy is a legislation that can be abrogated anytime.” It is a convenience that can be dispensed with as soon as it is grossly
abused and becomes counterproductive. That is what it is for now! Therefore, it
must be abrogated or, in the least optionalised!
In support of this
assertion, I reprint here unabridged, a letter downloaded from the Internet,
which states in concise and unequivocal terms that the Catholic Church does not, has never and will never teach CELIBACY.
“CELIBACY AND CATHOLIC TEACHING
Father Mateo, August 28, 1982
GZ | Blessings in
The Name of Our Lord!
GZ | For centuries
The Roman Rite has been teaching the laity that celibacy is demanded of ALL
Priests... Yet since the beginning of The Catholic Church this has not been
so... I.E. St.Peter had a wife per St Paul’s Writings... Anglican Priests are being
accepted on a case by case basis into The Roman Jurisdictions... Not to mention
Other Rites that have always held celibacy as an option rather than a
mandate....
GZ | What source is
generally available to the laity that will clarify this issue?
GZ | Shalom, GZ | Gayle
Dear Gayle: May I
humbly suggest that the Roman Rite doesn't teach anybody anything!
The official teachers of the Church are the Bishops in
union with the Pope, and they can be and are of all the rites. For
example, Pius XI belonged to the Ambrosian Rite, as did Paul VI. John Paul II
recently celebrated Mass in the Mozarabic Rite, although he comes from the Roman
Rite.
Secondly, the Church doesn't "teach the laity". The Church teaches
all her members. The Church is not "us" vs. "them". We are
all the
Church and members of one another, in need of the gospel of God.
Thirdly, the Church does not "teach" anything whatever about
Celibacy. The objects of Church teaching are (1) doctrine and (2) morals.
Celibacy is neither. Celibacy is a matter of Church legislation.
The law of celibacy,
which has been universal in the Latin rites since the Middle Ages, is of
ecclesiastical origin and may therefore be dispensed in individual cases.
Conceivably, it could be entirely abrogated. An easily available treatment of
this matter (it is scarcely an issue) is the article "Celibacy" in
the New Catholic Encyclopaedia.
Sincerely in Christ,

This is coming from an authority on the subject under scrutiny. He is an
Israelite! He studied in Rome! He
is an ordained priest of the Roman Rite and has been in service for thirty-five
years. You have no reason to doubt what he says! “If clerical celibacy has
out-lived its usefulness, what is the need of clinging tenaciously to it? This
is an absurdity on the part of the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy”. In medical
language, it is giving a wrong diagnosis while a sick patient is in a comatose
state! Alternatively, shall we take it that the Church Fathers support the
numerous sex scandals rocking the boat? Or, has it become so insensitive to the
evidence of cases of paedophilia in USA, of
lesbian and homosexual relationships reported in the mass media and so many
incidences of promiscuity in other parts of the globe and that warrants our
“separated brethren” laughing us to scorn? Why has the Pope and the Cardinals
turned their eyes the other way? Are they neck deep in these scandals themselves?
Probably it is a case of those living in glass houses not throwing stones at
each other? They are blind pastors leading the faithful!
Our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, had prophesied about them when he
compared them to the religious leaders of his time. He reiterated that they
were hypocrites that devoured the homes of widows. He labelled them, “white
sepulchres, which on the outside looked clean but were rotten and decaying on
the inside.” Anyone who deceptively takes a vow of celibacy, deliberately
violates it regularly without any pricks of the conscience is a definitely a
disciple of Satan. That is why we refer to them as ‘Postgraduates of Satan’s
University.’ They are candidates for hellfire and they will lead as many of us
as they can to the same place. They are only working for their master, Lucifer!
Listen to what Jesus Christ said about such hypocrites who take false vows in
New Testament account of Matthew’s Gospel, Chapter 23, vv. 25 - 28:
“How terrible for you, teachers of
the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You clean the outside of your cup and
plate, while the inside is full of what you have obtained by violence and
selfishness. Blind Pharisee! Clean what
is inside the cup first, and then the outside will be clean too!: “How terrible
for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You are like
whitewashed tombs, which look fine on the outside but are full of bones and
decaying corpses on the inside. In the same way, on the outside you appear good
to everybody, but on the inside, you are full of hypocrisy and sins.”
Does anyone need
an interpretation for those simple statements of facts? What does a tomb
covered with tiles look like theses days? White! Suppose you dig up the
contents after three months, what will you find inside? Dry bones, nails,
hairs, the teeth, the skull and may be some decaying flesh!
Today, that is
what the Nigerian clergy is! Our Protestant married priests are now preferred! Many of these erring brothers and sisters of our
Catholic community come to my clinic. Nevertheless, that does not solve the
matter! They go to physicians and gynaecologists who are not Catholics; and probably
in mufti, and still accomplish their infanticide mission. My colleagues laugh
at me! Our teaching hospitals and private clinics are inundated with so many
cases that I blush whenever I meet with some of the irreverent ‘Rev. Fathers
and Sisters!’ I may be forced to document some of these aberrations if nothing
tangible is done by the local ordinaries of these erring sons and daughters of
ours! This is definitely “abomination standing in a holy place”!
During the civil war, I handled more than five hundred cases, mostly out
of paternal concern and humanitarian principles. I pitied the refugee girls and
women who were the commonest preys of these amorous parish priests that used
stockfish, egg-yolk and milk, donated by CARITAS as their baits! Often, I had
to turn them back. The story has not changed much! Only their baits have
changed and their methodologies have greatly been improved on. Their new treacheries
and cover-ups have undergone metamorphosis, but they can never outwit old hands
in our profession!
My colleagues, still in active service, report that the upsurge is
astronomical. The most current evidence to buttress the incidence and frequency
of these scandalous practices by our ‘celibate children’ is that five hundred
cases of HIV/AIDS involving Rev. Fathers and Sisters have been recorded at all
the teaching hospitals nation-wide. The story is the same in other sister African
countries; Ghana, Ivory
Coast, Gambia, Kenya, Malawi, Angola and South
Africa! The papacy must exempt
Africans from the foolery of pretences at a celibate culture! It is
‘Un-African’, to say the least. Moreover, the scandalous lessons this clerical
subterfuge passes on to our youth, most especially the young girls and women
who are the victims of these amorous relationships does more harm to their
spiritual development than whatever ablutions they get at their weekly
confessions. It is a blatant mockery of the sacrament of reconciliation!
By God’s grace, I am an octogenarian. It is equally ‘Un-African’ for an
elder to see evil, sit complacently and not warn the youth about its impending
and disastrous consequences. I have done my duty! If nothing is
done, and fast too, we shall be left with no option than to assert that
celibacy is a canonical camouflage designed to shelter all those who are
incapable of living the monogamous lifestyle demanded by the sacrament of Holy
Matrimony! It shall then be obvious that it is an institutionalised welcome
haven for those having sociopathological inadequacies! For now, that is what it
represents among the Igbos of Biafra in West Africa, who love children and cherish family life dearly!
Where I was born, we have this local
saying; ‘He who does not know where the rainfall starting beating him, will
never know where it stopped’. Another warns; “A rat that joins a lizard
in playing in the rain, to remember that when the lizard is dry, it will still
be wet.” In my culture, one does not interpret proverbs. I dare do so for
my readers who are non-indigenes of Igbo land; both idioms imply that anyone
who does not know who he is or where he is coming from will definitely not know
where he is going! The words of the elders of my people of Biafra are definitely words of wisdom. They
can write a doctoral thesis with just an idiom or a statement of the fact with
a simple analogy! Let’s look at these: The bat is totally blind and is
neither an animal of the sky nor of the land! The bat is neither a bird nor a
rodent for it hasn’t any feathers yet it flies! And though it has the anatomy
of mammals and a skin with furs it neither crawls nor runs on all fours, yet it
feeds like birds, amphibians and rodents! The bat says he knows how ugly it is,
so it has resolved to fly only at night! What a tragedy! These unreverend men
and women should emulate the bat!
Onowu Dr Christopher Agubobi Ezike, FRCS, First Surgeon in Igboland.
P R E F A C E
THE RAISON D’ÊTRE
Current sex scandals in
Catholic dioceses all over the world and in many parishes of the African Church have necessitated the
timely formation of an association of deeply concerned parents, with the sole
objective of sanitising the congregation of what is regarded today as the
greatest demonic attack on decency, purity, holiness and social ethics! Many
postgraduates of Satan’s universities have invaded our churches. We urgently
need to checkmate them!
IT IS SEX SCANDALS GALORE AS
AT NOW!
It is hoped that this
association, as a child of necessity, will save us the recurrent shame,
stigmatisation and embarrassment serious minded members of the clergy and our
faithful laity suffer at the hands of our separated brethren. They are fully
aware of the deceit going on. Now they deride us on the false claims we make on
celibacy and so laugh us to scorn! We have no excuses for the flagrant
violations of the vows of chastity and virginity by our sons and daughters!
The words of Apostle Peter,
in 2nd Peter 2: 17-22, Good News Bible edition (GNB) is prophetic
and says it all!
v.17: These men are like
dried-up springs, like clouds blown along by a storm; God has reserved a place
for them in the deepest darkness.
v.18: They make proud and
stupid statements, and use immoral bodily lusts to trap those who are just
beginning to escape from among people who live in error.
v.19: They promise them freedom while they
themselves are slaves of destructive habits—for a person is a slave of anything
that has conquered him.
v.20: If people have escaped from the corrupting
forces of the world through their knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ, and then are again caught and conquered by them, such people are in a
worse state at the end than they were at the beginning.
v.21: It would have been much better for them never
to have known the way of righteousness than to know it and then turn away from
the sacred command that was given them.
v.22: What happened to them shows that the proverbs
are true:
“A dog goes back to what it
has vomited” and “A pig that has been washed goes back to roll in the mud.”
What else can be more
appropriate in describing our erring religious hypocrites than the last two
verses? One takes a vow of chastity or that of virginity after fifteen years of
training at the seminary or a minimum of seven years after a postulancy at a
convent respectively. Thereafter, such
candidates flaunt the vow and unrepentantly indulge in promiscuous sexual
exploits shortly after a mission-sponsored tutelage and the diocesan ceremonies
of ordinations or solemn professions usually well orchestrated and extensively
financed by the laity! This cancerous
sore deserves a surgical excision!
Is this not a variant of the
abominations of desolation standing in holy places?
Has Satan taken over our
seminaries and convents or are the spiritual directors and formators to be held
responsible for this turn of events? Subterfuge, deceit and pretence must have been
so eulogised, practised and indulged in at some of the religious training
grounds, otherwise how can anyone explain how these wolves in sheep’s clothing
survived the rigorous classical conditioning and role-modelling of their
formators for so long. The sorrows of parents of these wayward candidates are
better imagined than experienced!
The situation has so got out
of hand that the warnings of Jesus Christ himself now apply to our clergy. The
whole of chapter twenty-three of the gospel according to Matthew is an apt
description of the depravity of most of our present day priests! Currently,
about fifty-five cases of reported HIV/AIDS patients in our teaching hospitals
are those of our young men and women in religious cassocks, gowns and veils of
all descriptions. However only one appellation truly fits them all, and that
is- HYPOCRITES!
THE STATUS QUO OF CLERICAL CELIBACY TODAY
“CELIBACY, is the state of being unmarried, with abstinence from sexual
activity. Considered a form of asceticism (q.v.), it has been practiced in many
religious traditions: in ancient Judaism, by the Essenes; and in Buddhism, Jainism
and Hinduism, by the members of monastic groups.
In Christianity, monks and nuns in both the Western and Eastern
churches have practiced celibacy. In the Eastern Church, parish clergy are
permitted to marry before ordination, but bishops are selected from among the
unmarried clergy. In the Roman Catholic Church, celibacy is required of all
clergy in the Latin Rite. The church holds that this practice is sanctioned,
although not required, by the New Testament, basing this claim upon what it
avers to have been the constant tradition of the church and upon several
biblical texts (notably, 1 Cor. 7:6-7, 25; Matt. 19:12). The principles upon
which the law of celibacy is founded are (1) that the clergy may serve God with
more freedom and with undivided heart; and (2) that, being called to serve
Jesus Christ; they may embrace the holier life of self-restraint. This
statement does not imply, it is said, that matrimony is not a holy state but
simply that celibacy is a state of greater perfection.
Having no doctrinal bearing in the Roman Catholic Church, celibacy is
regarded as a purely disciplinary law. A dispensation from the obligation of
celibacy has occasionally been granted to ecclesiastics under exceptional
circumstances, for instance, to provide an heir for a noble family in danger of
extinction.
The Protestant reformers rejected the celibacy of the clergy, Martin
Luther setting the example to his followers by marrying a former nun. Both the
marriage of ministers and the abolition of monastic vows became common features
of those bodies that withdrew their allegiance from the Roman Catholic Church.
According to the articles of religion of the Church of England, "bishops,
priests, and deacons are not commanded by God's law, either to vow the estate
of single life, or to abstain from marriage; therefore it is lawful for them,
as for all other Christian men, to marry at their own discretion, as they shall
judge the same to serve better to godliness."
The history of priestly celibacy has been a stormy one since it became
law for the clergy of the Latin Rite in the 6th century. Although Pope Paul VI,
in his encyclical of June 24, 1967, reaffirmed the traditional position, the requirement of priestly
celibacy remains a much-disputed ecclesiastical question.”

THE
SCENARIO IN NIGERIA
·
At UNTH some years back, a convent girl was used at
the medical students’ practical session to demonstrate the early signs of
pregnancy in a virgin. The naïve postulant was made to stand in front of
students of her age and narrate what happens to her early in the morning. ‘Of course her descriptions are nothing
peculiar’, the mischievous Consultant explained to the class, ‘Congrats my dear, you are a very good
sample of a healthy mother-to-be, you are pregnant!” he thundered.
You can only conceptualise
the loud ovation or the sarcastic uproar that greeted the Consultant’s verdict!
Then imagine the scorn and shame the Catholic medical students had to bear because
of a parish priest’s secret love affair with the adolescent girl who honestly
desired the vocation and seriously hoped to become an exemplary Reverend
Sister!
·
At a wedding in my hometown back in 1992,
a handsome light complexioned Rev. Fr. travelled all the way from
Umuahia to officiate at St Martin’s Parish, Odoata-Ihiala. The grandmother of
the bridegroom was at hand to witness the ceremony despite her aging frame and
figure! She insisted on being present at her first grandson’s wedding feast, but
for a different reason altogether as the events of the wedding celebration
unfolded. At the end of the cutting of the wedding cake, she requested to
speak. Sitting in front of the audience with the microphone secure in her
trembling hands, she feebly implored the visiting Rev. Fr. not to forget to
take along with him the beautiful daughter the bride bore for him prior to
being engaged to her grandson. “We have taken care of her for you for three
years now!” she concluded. You can imagine the livid consternation her
confession caused in the reception hall!
This is only the tip of the
iceberg, as many such violations of the vow of celibacy and worse stories from
the convents litter all our parishes. One cannot recount even ninety percent of
them were such a one to narrate for ten hours the sex scandals perpetrated
under the unnatural guise of a celibate life that no African is qualified for,
let alone programmed to keep! We have been deceiving ourselves all these years.
Before the civil war, this author could vouch for 33% of the Rev. Gentlemen who
took their sacred vows seriously. Now, he cannot even swear an affidavit for as
little as 0.05%.
The current vocation
explosion is thanks to this nonchalant attitude to the vows of obedience,
poverty and chastity. Most of the candidates for the religious life nowadays,
are frustrated applicants who now see easy life and sensual pleasure as the
exclusive preserve of clandestine Rev. Frs. and impious Rev. Srs. They are the
only ones permitted by the Church to dissect the sexual enjoyment in Holy
Matrimony from the difficult roles and duties of parenthood as demanded by the
Canon Laws of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. They enjoy sex without the
corresponding responsibility of pregnancy, gestation period, labour pains,
delivery and child rearing involved in it. Let those who want to marry come
out and do so honourably! It is time to put an end to pretence and public
deceit!
The seven or more items
listed on the title page will be treated on separate well research volumes. For
now, only the first has been examined. The treatise is neither comprehensive
nor exhaustive! Every concerned parent or Christian is invited to make his or
her inputs on any of the listed aberrations in the theory and practice of
Christianity today and mail it to the headquarters of the INTEGRATIONAL
SPIRITAN MOVEMENT, a fellowship for all natural scientists for immediate
publication. Feel free to communicate with us by dialling 042-550344 or

Many seminarians and
postulants are virgins at their ordinations and first professions! They are
sincere on the vows they take. However, their seniors who are already morally
depraved and demonised seduce them into joining the cohort of fraudsters in
cassocks and veils!
Many young Reverend Sisters equally,
report that they were initiated into illicit sex exploits by their parish
priests or those they trusted. Platonic love affairs became translated into
concubinage within the first three years of their profession. Some, rather
than withdrawing and getting married legally, are then convinced that everyone was
indulging in it, so why should they leave?
That there is an option to
this deceitful aberration is all that the association for the abrogation of
celibacy in the Catholic Church is saying. This clandestine misapplication of
what Paul said in his letter to the Corinthian Church is the genesis of the mass
deception! It did not make celibacy either obligatory or mandatory, but
optional. So, who invented this compulsory application?
1 Corinthians
7:1-9
7:1
Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry.
2 But
since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each
woman her own husband.
3 The
husband should fulfil his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to
her husband.
4 The
wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same
way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife.
5 Do
not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may
devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not
tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
6 I
say this as a concession, not as a command.
7 I
wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has
this gift, another has that.
8 Now
to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried,
as I am.
9 But
if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry
than to burn with passion.
It is this wrong misapplication of what the apostle
recommended that is the crux of the matter. Our association is only asking that
we sanitise the priesthood and stop the mass deception. It is evident to
members of the mass servers and altar girls that both Rev. Frs. & Rev. Srs.
Do not keep the vow. Here is our position:
1.
Celibacy must be made optional, with priests allowed to renew
their choice every three years for the first ten years of their ordination.
They should be as free as Reverend Sisters to marry if they have fallen in love
with someone they feel can assist them live a happily married life and an
exemplary Christian life!
2.
Only those who are resolute in their virginity can then aspire
to becoming full-
time Parish Priests, with the prospect of
becoming Papal Chamberlains
at the fifteenth year of their
ordination! They have the option of voluntarily
undergoing vasectomy to confirm their
perpetual loyalty to the Church!
3.
A broad-based Diocesan Commission of both the laity and
the clergy can interview and appoint some of the married priests as reliable
vicars in their home parishes. However, they will find their own accommodation
and cater for their families as they will be paid salaries and sick-call
allowances!
Both the few honest celibates and the uncountable
dishonest
‘celibates’ know that this is the truth of the matter. Therefore, the African
Synod of Bishops should take the option Pope John Paul II gave them. In African
culture, elders do not tell lies nor propagate falsehood or false lifestyles.
That is the essence of the Ozo-titles that are conferred on trust-worthy
citizens, whose tongues are washed and minds rid of subterfuge during the
rituals of purification in the long drawn out ceremonies. Most of these clerics
want the abolition of the obnoxious dogma but are cautious lest any one says
that he or she has been indulging in its violation. That is the origin of all
the ‘hide-me-& I-hide-you’ scenario we are being treated to! Let the honest
ones come out boldly and condemn the unnatural law of celibacy. They will gain
greater respect!
We are equal partners in
this business of sanitising all Christian Churches! We cannot shy away from
our responsibilities to chart a new course and so sanitise our Catholic Church!
Get as many people as possible to fill out the registration forms at the back
of the book. Enlist only dedicated and devout practitioners of the Christian
Faith to join us. God be with you as the Holy Spirit guides you. For “Surely,
His Goodness and Mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall
dwell in the house of the Almighty God, for ever and ever”.
In support of my
recommendations, now read 1st Maccabees 1, 2 & 3.

DESIGN OF THE BACK COVER
ReplyDeleteThe material in this book is meant only for mature minds who want to see a better society where their descendants are not fooled nor scandalised by religious leaders with questionable credentials, low moral standards or worse still, psychopathological traits bordering on inadequate psychosexual development.
We are living in an age where heterosexual promiscuity, hype- homosexuality, nymphomania and paedophilia have become rampant among fraudsters parading as religious men and women who claim to be celibates. Protect your offspring from these disciples of Satan adorned in white cassocks, gowns and veils. All that glitter is not gold! If you are naïve enough to leave your fathering or mothering duties today, do not blame anybody tomorrow when your kids are initiated into secret cults or the sexual perversions of homosexualism and lesbianism.
• Celibacy must be made optional, with priests allowed renewing their choice after the first three years of their ordination. They should be free like Rev. Srs. to marry if they have fallen in love with someone they feel can assist them live a happily married life and lead an exemplary Christian life!
• Only those who are resolute in their virginity can aspire to becoming full-
time Parish Priests, with the prospect of becoming Papal Chamberlains
at the tenth year of their ordination! They have the option of voluntarily
undergoing vasectomy to confirm their perpetual loyalty to the Church!
• A broad-based Diocesan Commission of both the laity and the clergy can interview and appoint some of the married priests as reliable vicars in their home parishes. However, they will find their own accommodation and cater for their families, as they will be paid salaries and sick-call allowances!
The Internet is saturated with pornographic materials not good for growing minds, but this can be monitored and satisfactorily censored by responsible parents. However, that innocent looking priest, pastor, brother or sister you trust, can do more damage to your child’s morality, because you will least suspect them! Read this book, reflect on its genuine concerns and join us in providing an insurance cover for the normal personality development of your lovely children.
ReplyDeleteSex scandals are rocking Christendom now!
THE GOSPEL TRUTH ABOUT THIS BOOK
Our sons and daughters are trapped and only you and I can rescue them! The good ones among them want to quit but are timid and afraid of what people who sponsored them would say! Let us join hands and liberate them now! Some former classmates of mine, who are honest but feel trapped in this buffoonery and deceit, engineered this publication. We have outlined options that the Papacy can adopt to save our souls! The future of the Holy, Apostolic and Catholic Church is the ‘raison d’être’ of this publication. No other motivation propelled the association. The Holy Spirit of the Almighty Creator of us all was, is and will ever remain the team leader of this effort!
WE OWE THEM THIS GOOD TURN! THEY CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES. HOWEVER, YOU CAN!

THE CURRENT ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH PRACTISED ALL OVER THE WORLD IS ROMAN MITHRANISM DRESSED UP AS PAULINE CHRISTIANITY!
Jesus was deified by Roman Emperor Constantine to marry a Christian girl he fell in love with and Saul as the guardian of the damsel demanded that he must first convert to his brand of Christianity to achieve his desire. Thus Roman Paganism mixed with Mithraism the Greek religion they had before the arrival of Saul of Tarsus produced the adulterated Pauline version with all the personality attributes of Mithra god, all the liturgical celebrations and feasts of the ‘sun-god’ hoisted on Jesus of Nazareth, rebranded and patented in Rome as ‘god-the-son’ and later exported to the whole world as Roman Catholic mission! Saul of Tarsus never met Jesus alive and so was neither a disciple of Jesus nor one of his chosen/trained apostles. Neither Peter, the head of the apostles; James nor John his deputies were/was involved in the notorious Council of Nicea that ratified its formation and therefore it was/is a heretical counterfeit that was unauthorised, unedifying, psychoneurotical, illegal and a complete forgery! It still is to date!!
Beware and Be Forearmed that As Post Graduates Of Satan’s University, The Clerics In Vatican City Will Often Claim Originality For Innovative Thoughts, Any Initiative And Every Thing Others Introduce For The Progress Of Their Romanticised Christianity!
It is better to do the natural thing within the accepted life of a sacramental marriage than to voluntarily hand over your soul to the devil and scandalised so many boys and girls who look up to you as a role model. What homilies can a priest preach to the very women that he has gone to bed with?
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, what powers has such a fornicator inside the confessional? Will his accomplices in such absurd sexual immorality ever come to him for confessions? In addition, when they do come, will he continue to mediate the penitential rites properly according to the mind of the Church? Remember Lord’s recommendation; ‘it were better that a millstone be hung around your neck and that you are thrown into the sea, than for you to deceive and scandalise the youth and by so doing lead them to hellfire.
OUR CONCLUDING RECOMMENDATIONS
• Celibacy must be made optional, with priests allowed renewing their choice after the first three years of their ordination. They should be free like Rev. Srs. to marry if they have fallen in love with someone they feel can assist them live a happily married life and lead an exemplary Christian life!
• Only those who are resolute in their virginity can aspire to becoming full-
time Parish Priests, with the prospect of becoming Papal Chamberlains
at the tenth year of their ordination! They have the option of voluntarily

• A broad-based Diocesan Commission of both the laity and the clergy can interview and appoint some of the married priests as reliable vicars in their home parishes. However, they will find their own accommodation and cater for their families, as they will be paid salaries and sick-call allowances!
Postscript:
Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, an exemplary ex-seminarian since the 1970s, is a stoic of the first class genre, a moral crusader of no mean order; a war battered veteran of the Degema Strike Force in 12th Commando Brigade of Biafra (1968 -1970) as well as a retired Nigerian Air Force Officer (1975 -1979)! Therefore, he speaks his mind and so, he owes no one any apologies for his strong views in this crusade to sanitise the Catholic Church in particular, and other churches in general!
TRUTH NEVER WEARS A DRESS. ANY WHERE OR ANYTIME IT PUTS ON LIPSTICK, AN EAR RINGS, WEARS A PANT .... IT CEASES TO BE TRUTH...that is my definition of truth which I have championed for two decades now, THE MASSES CAN COMPREHEND THAT, alternatively CAN YOU OFFER A SIMPLER DEFINITION.....Please mail it to me...o..o..oooh..
