Mbaka utterances, embarrassment to the Catholic community — Omovusu on January 10, 2015 / in News 8:53 pm / Comments The utterances of a Catholic Priest, Rev Fr. Ejike Mbaka, founder of the Adoration Ministry, has been described as an embarrassment to the Catholic community, especially the recent verbal attack on President Goodluck Jonathan in his adoration sermon when he declared that the president should quit office. Speaking in Lagos recently, Mr Vincent Omovusu, the immediate past pastoral council chairman of St Monica Catholic Church, Igbogbo, Ikorodu, Lagos State and a recipient of Lagos provincial award comprising the Dioceses of Lagos, Ijebu-Ode and Abeokuta and other various societies awards, said the political stand point of the catholic priest suggests that his utterances are products of his perception which are being influenced by some extraneous forces outside his calling as a priest. He said that the founder of the Adoration Ministry in Enugu is a vibrant catholic priest who has been doing very well with his adoration ceremonies where he has carried out some healings and has converted many to the catholic faith, lamenting that, in recent times he has been enmeshed in controversies, the face—off with the past and present governors of Imo State and his latest declaration that the president should quit office which has dwarfed some of his achievements. Omovusu said as a staunch Catholic right from his tender days, and as a tutor of catholic doctrines, he has not seen where a reverend father ordained by Bishops with the approval from the Vatican City makes unguarded and controversial utterances capable of giving negative impression about the catholic faith. According to him, Rev Fr Mbaka should emulate the life of St Peter whom our Lord Jesus Christ handed over the church to and carry on with the gospel of evangelism instead of turning to a political preacher who double speaks on the pulpit. Omovusu contended that his recent attack on President Jonathan who he glowingly celebrated just about a month ago speaks volume about his state of mind, saying he should be called to order before the name of the church is dragged to the mud - See more at: vanguardngr/2015/01/mbaka-utterances-embarrassment-to-the-catholic-community-omovusu/#sthash.fi6e76Ye.dpuf
