A lot of people are confused by what is meant by personal ordinariate and Personal Prelature. A personal prelature is an institution having clergy and possibly lay members which would carry out specific pastoral activities. The adjective personal refers to the fact that, in contrast with previous canonical use for ecclesiastical institutions, the jurisdiction of the prelate is not linked to a territory but over persons wherever they happen to be.The establishment of personal prelatures is an exercise of the theologically inherent power of self-organization which the Church has to pursue its mission, though a personal prelature is not a…

The topic African Spirituality comes as an unexpected suprise to many because for a long time we have thought that spirituality is the prerogative of Christianity,or if anything,it has nothing to do with African traditional practice.This is a bias whose origin stamps back to the time of the early missionaries to the continent.The missionaries who brought us faith made us believe that spirituality has to do with sanctity which is attainable only in Christianity. African traditional practices were looked down upon.In fact at a certain stage it was even leveled satanic by the missionaries.This attitude made it difficult,not only for the…

Is it possible to “un-ordain”a priest? It is not theologically or spiritually possible.Once a man is ordained a priest,he will always have the ability to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,and nobody on earth can take that ability away from him. Canon law follows theology, so it is no surprise that the code c.290 After it has been validly received sacred ordination never becomes invalid echoes the Catechism of the Catholic Church § 1581-1582 in asserting that priestly ordination which is validly conferred never becomes invalid.“You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedech.”(Psalm 110:4).Once validly ordained, a…

When dealing with circumcision, it is our conviction that all human behaviours within a culture have a value for the people who originate and perpetuate the practices. It is our assumption that,for the African communities from which most of the data for the study in this book has been obtained, female circumcision has a meaning and purpose. It therefore follows that whoever desires to change such behaviour, and thus to remove the cultural value that goes with it, needs to propose some other practice that will be perceived as more meaningful, relevant and more functional than the present practice and its values.The book has described the…

His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI insists that the decision to lift the excommunications of four traditionalist bishops was entirely based on canonical logic, comparable to the reintegration of Catholic bishops in China ordained without the consent of the pope. Once such a bishop formally recognizes papal authority, Benedict says, the lifting of excommunication is basically automatic.That is why basically It is for the Pope freely to appoint bishops. This shows the bond of communion that is shared between the dioceses of the world and the universal Church, of which the Holy Father is the visible sign of unity. When there is need to appoint a…

Ethnology is the scientific study of the origin and functioning of humans and their cultures. As a human universal reality, ethnocentrism is said to be more pronounced in modern nations than in pre-literature tribes. People in developed countries of Europe and America tend to despise other nations and their customs terming them as queer and foolish just because they are different from their own. The western church has not been spared from prejudices and biases about African religion as revealed by missionaries attitudes. It is believed that ethnocentrism is a major cause of problems in the world and the developing nations.Ethnic difference…

Since the coming of the Gospel in Africa the African Christians have not considered it very significant in their lives. In spite of all the missionary endeavors to dismiss belief in occult and superstitions as demonic, these beliefs are a reality in the lives of many Christians in Africa. While the western churches are grappling with contemporary anti-Christian doctrines such as existentialism, secularism and universalism, atheism among others, the African churches are busy fighting with magic, witchcraft, and spirit possession among others. This is notorious reality and therefore much time and space has been dedicated towards…

God the Father is the Lord of salvation history and Creator of all that is.The Father is unbegotten but acts and can only act in the unity of the Son and Holy Spirit.The Father generates the Son and with the Son sends forth the Holy Spirit.The Son is begotten by the Father and not made out of nothing like a creature.The Son is of same substance with the Father.Thus the Son is coequal with the Father.It is through the Son as the Word of the Father that the Father is expressed in salvation history and within the inner life of the Trinity as well.The Holy Spirit is the Fathers gift through the Son. It is through the Spirit that the Father is…

It is believed that once a witchcraft suspect is put through the ordeal it neutralizes their magical powers and completely deters them from using such destructive powers against other people. The administration of these heinous rituals have stirred controversies amongst the African community with passion unwitnessed before. Believers are divided as to whether Christians should take recourse to such archaic and uncivilized practices to resolve social differences, conflicts and tensions.Some say it is proper to use such methods to rid society of anti-social acts, while others disagree that no Christian should indulge in such devilish…

There are several factors, which can positively influence internal efficiency in an organisation or institution. One of these is guidance and counselling. If repetition and dropout are indicators, guidance and counselling, therefore, have booster roles to play. Through proper guidance and counselling, students or employees who would have otherwise dropped out are retained and have success stories to tell. Guidance and counselling are needed to reduce and possibly eliminate anti-social activities in our institutions and society. There is a rising tide of unrest, gangsters, closures and lockouts in our institutions, organisations,…
