The Catholic Arch bishop Emeritus of Lagos spoke with
Vanguard on the drama between Pastor Christ Oyekilome and His wife, He said
they forgot the vows they took at the altar.
He said..
“When the going was good, they took vows on the altar of God
to stay together in sickness and in health, until death do them part. They promise
to make one another faithful partner in the presence of God, their family and
friends and vow to be each other’s faithful partner in sickness and in health,
in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. (with their
separation ) It shows that they cannot live by what they preach. The Bible
says: ‘What God has joined together, let no man put asunder.’ So why are they
putting asunder what the good Lord has joined together if they are men of God
as they claim?”
Asked what the development portrays for the Church of God, the cardinal replied with a
question
“What Church are you talking about?. It is not good. Are
they true pastors? Good shepherds of the Lord are expected to do everything to
shepherd their flock including their spouses even when they err. If God forgave
us in spite of our filth, why can any man who is truly called pastor not
forgive any malfeasance?”
Okogie blamed the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, which
registers every organization which goes about deceiving people in the name of
church, noting that there are several “useless” institutions that have been
registered churches which are currently painting the Church of God
in bad light.
