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.

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.

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 infanticidal 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 it nothing tangible is done by
the local ordinaries of these erring sons and daughters of ours! 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 bets! A times I had to turn them
back. The story has not changed much! Only their bets have changed and their
methodologies have greatly been improved on. The 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 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 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 and 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!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
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.”
Excerpts from INFOPEDIA, the ultimate in
information & historical data, USA , 2000
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!

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.

CHAPTER ONE
THE ORIGIN OF CELIBACY
1.1 WHAT IS
CELIBACY?
Celibacy, is
the state of being unmarried, with abstinence from sexual activity. Considered
a form of asceticism, it has been
practised in many religious traditions: in ancient Judaism, by the Essenes; and
in Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism, by the members of monastic groups. In Christianity, celibacy has been
practised by monks and nuns in both the Western and Eastern churches. 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 Corinthians 7:6-7, 25;
Matthew 19:12). The principles
upon which the law of celibacy is founded are that the clergy may serve God
with more freedom and with undivided heart; and 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.
There would be no argument against this
myopic position if those who take the vow of celibacy actually kept it.
However, that is not the case, at least, in the past century. What we now have
in Nigeria and other sister African countries are FRAUDSTERS who pretend to be
celibates but are truly Casanovas, Nymphomaniacs and a generation of
promiscuous heterosexuals, homosexuals and/or lesbians. Consequently, our youth
have been so corrupted by these demons in cassocks and veils that the SIXTH
Commandment of God means nothing to the younger generation of Catholic
children! Shall we fold our hands and allow such desecration of moral ethics to
continue unabated. That’s the challenge before this
association!
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 same argument can be
applied to the African situation, more so when it is remembered that our
peculiar culture frowns on someone dying without leaving any children to
continue the family tree or even an individual’s name. In some communities, one
is not even mourned nor given a decent funeral if such a person has never given
birth to any offspring at all, whether legally married or not. You only get a
befitting funeral when you have had a child in or outside wedlock! And these
so-called celibates know that, believe in it, since they’re not islands in our
cultural setting or gene-load. Do you blame them? “Blood no dey lie for joh
ooh!” We have a saying, which states “
if a prick does not die young, it will surely eat bearded meat.” Ask Professor Chinua Achebe or rather
read his famous novels; ‘Things Fall Apart’, ‘No Longer at Ease’ or ‘The Arrow
of God’; they will give you a background to understanding what I am talking
about. Dr Kenez®.
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.[1]
Among the Igbos we say; “ No one can wedge
a flood during a heavy rainfall!” The only way to control such a flood is to
divert its direction of flow. No one can cheat nature, at least not when one is
half-baked, semi-trained and ill prepared to take a vow that needs an ascetic
life or demands a monastic genre. The only way an African can practise celibacy
that is transparent and convincing to the average Church member is when those
who take the vows are also ‘MADE EUNUCHS FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN’; as St Paul the proponent,
the initiator and the instigator of the celibacy tradition suggested.
Moreover, I am fully aware of the contents
of Matthew, 19:11-12 and 1stCorinthians, 7: 7-35! None of them
demands or makes celibacy compulsory! Both are suggestions based on God’s grace
not on false vows taken by sex perverts and fraudsters! So let all that would
embrace celibacy in our local congregations in Africa
be ready for surgery that will permanently curb sexual arousal and extinguish
that fire that definitely could lead them into indulgence in heterosexual
activities. We, in turn, shall whole-heartedly welcome, respect and accord such
ones full recognition and unwavering loyalty in every religious function and
willingly take care of and sponsor such candidates to the priesthood or any
other religious profession! Anything short of this is unacceptable! Dr

The 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!

They have the option of voluntarily
undergoing vasectomy to confirm their
perpetual loyalty to the Church!

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. Sex 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!
