Metropolitan Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Ignatius Kaigama, has warned priests not to turn approved Catholic Adoration Centres into places where they attempt to create personality cults through careless and insensitive utterances and drama.
Speaking at the feast of Corpus Christi and the Arch Diocesan Eucharistic Congress, held at St. Aloysius Parish in Mpape, Abuja on Sunday, Kaigama said such centres should be for adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and not places where the faithful were intimidated, manipulated and extorted.
“When confronted with sickness, childlessness, or material deprivation, we should not rush to soothsayers or even to some so-called men of God who may not be any different from deceptive fetish agents,” the Archbishop added.
He also implored Christians to go beyond religion and tribe to elect credible political leaders in 2023, urging them to ensure that they elected leaders who could unite the country beyond the narrow confines of tribe and religion.
