Dear Brother Paskalis, I'm very proud of you! May our good Lord bless you, always. You are a humble Franciscan, who always listen to your heart. My prayers.
The humility of this Bishop is applaudable. May God further bless him. However, I personally feel that his reasons may contain more than meets the eye. Anyway, I am to be educated on how being created Cardinal would inhibit his pastoral and priestly desires. Obviously, many Cardinals are also the Chief Sherperds of their respective Dioceses.
This is a good example. Humility in action. We need more people to show this type of humility among the shepherds of the church. It shows that one understands what it means to be at the head after the example of Jesus Christ himself.
Late Bishop Micheal Eneje did it he was asked to be elevated to be an achibishop, and he refused he was also to be a cardinal, and he refused so refused his reason was he want to be close to the he served so it normal thing happening catholic church
His Lordship always swiftly makes a nice point. Yes, modern technology can never replace the reality. Thank you bishop for making the point. Just like breviary and other books of worship. 👍
Much ado about nothing. Bloggers want to trend with any news and attract viewers to their page. Even if it was true there's nothing new about it and there's been few actual examples of priests leaving their religious vocation to get married. Your faith should be on God not on man.
Wow!☹️🤷🏽♂️😱 This went diametrically opposite from the direction I expected. The ceremony reminded me of my own swearing in as a new physician 36 years ago. It was conducted by the then President of the Nigerian Medical and Dental Council (NMDC), a Catholic who kindly shared the following scripture verses, at the time unknown to be as a young man. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 38:1-8; 12-15. I remain indebted to him to this day. NO FLAMBOYANT PROTESTANT PASTOR ANYWHERE IN SIGHT 🤷🏽♂️💐🤓
Even if a Catholic priest and a Catholic nun decide to marry each other, it will never do any harm to the Church instituted by Jesus Christ. After all, Judas' betrayal did not change anything to Christ's death and resurrection, but the name Judas died with him because I have never heard of anyone who chose Judas as a name afterwards. Catholic church remains one, holy, and apostolic church. Behaviour of any member of the church is judged by God alone.
Marriage isn't a good idea for Catholic priests. As a former Catholic seminarian and now an 80 year old Catholic I was taught in the seminary that a married priest will have to decide on his loyalty to the Church and his vocation or to his spouse and any children that he may have. How do you take care of your parish flock when you have urgent matters concerning your family that come up? One or the other will have to get the majority of your attention. It's Ike the problem in the Bible of two women claiming to the King that one baby belongs to both of them. If the baby is divided in two and each woman is given a half, the baby dies. The solution is that only one woman can receive the living baby. Vocations to the priesthood and to married life are like that. Whichever one you choose you can't quibble and decide to walk down the middle of the road between the two. Only failure in both areas can result from that approach.
