COVID-19 will expose businessmen posing as pastors, Archbishop Kaigama

By AGNUS DEI -

Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama, Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja has stated that the ongoing global crisis caused by the deadly coronavirus will reveal true clerics and individuals who set out to amass wealth for themselves under the guise of  “clerics”.

The Prelate explained that, any cleric in the church whose paramount aim is to make money and not lead the flock to God amidst the pandemic is a businessman and not a true cleric.

Archbishop Kaigama reiterated that “this is the time to know who are true shepherds of the flock and those who are just engaged in work of religion in order to amass wealth for themselves or to acquire wealth and prosperity”.


“But if you are a pastor or priest in order to acquire material wealth, in order to enjoy prosperity, then, I’m sorry, you’re not called by God. You’re a businessman or businesswoman and not a priest or pastor”, he said.

He further indicated that, clerics should not abandon the work of God in this period because tithes and offerings are not forthcoming.

He said “as a good shepherd, you should stand strong and firm and be there for the people and pray for good time to come again.”

The burial follows a funeral Mass, presided over by the Dean of the College of Cardinals. When it comes to the actual burial, the pope is entombed in three different coffins, a ri...

When he was a cardinal, Pope Benedict said Freemasonry is the greatest danger to the Church The conversation happened 'a few years before he became pope.' D r. Robert Moynihan, the editor-in-chief of the Catholic journal   Inside the Vatican , revealed on April 23 that he once had a conversation with then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (who later became Pope Benedict XVI) about the “greatest danger to the Church,” and he recounts that Ratzinger said: “It is Freemasonry.” These words have a special importance in light of Pope Benedict's recent words about the “world-wide dictatorship of seemingly humanistic ideologies” that are fostering a “fear of the spiritual power of the Anti-Christ.” Let us first consider here Moynihan's own full   report   on that memorable conversation.  “I recall a conversation that I had with then Cardinal Ratzinger a few years before he became pope,” Moynihan writes on his website. “We were in his apartment, not far from S...
