The Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Bishop Calistus Onaga has inflicted a lengthy ban on Rev. Fr. Mbaka’s Adoration Ministry.
Anambradaily recalls that this event occurred due to Mbaka’s recent outburst against the flag bearer of the Labour party, Mr. Peter Obi who was a presidential vice-president candidate to Mr Atiku Abubakar of PDP during the last presidential election.
The ban was known in a letter he signed, addressed to ‘All the Clery, Religious and Lay Faithful in the Catholic Diocese of Enugu’.
Bishop Onaga banned all the religious bodies of the Enugu diocese from attending Adoration Ministry.
“I hereby prohibit all Catholics (clergy, religious and lay faithful) henceforth from attending all religious and liturgical activities of the Catholic Adoration Ministry until the due canonical process initiated by the Diocese is complete”.
He claimed that Fr Mbaka had refused to follow the teachings of the Catholic Church and erstwhile, his utterances at the Catholic Adoration Ministry are not consistent with the teachings and faith of the Catholic Church.
While taking all the above accusations into consideration, he obliged all Christian faithful to keep praying for Fr. Mbaka.”
