LETTER TO COMEDIANS ON THE SACRAMENT OF CONFESSION
Letter to Comedians
(Fr Justus Oruh)
Re: Last Warning and Appeal to All Comedians on Comedies on the Sacrament of Confession
Dear Comedians, I sincerely appreciate you on all the Films you put up for the promotion of our values in the society, politics and church and for the lightening moods you bring to our people especially in these hard times.
But please, know your boundaries. While you enjoy your freedom to make your videos, remember, you are not allowed to destroy peoples' image especially falsely. Truth must be told, but also in charity.
In the recent past, many videos have been put up, circulating in the social media which cajole and destroy the sacred image of the sacrament of reconciliation (Confession).
I know that you cannot easily put up videos making jokes with the core Islamic values. Why are seeking the destruction of the core Christian values?
The sacrament of Confession is for us SACROSANT.
The annoying part of the scenario is that;
• Most of these videos you make present the false image of the Confession.
• They discourage those who recourse to the Confession for forgiveness of their sins and perfect contrition.
• They destroy the image of rhe secrecy of the Confession which is golden.
• They destroy the picture of the matter of the Confession (that is, the confessed sins) of which NO BODY, including the priest (if at all he remembers them) can divulge, let out or make use of, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE.
• Etc.
Confession is for us Catholics very important. It is the only sacrament Jesus established after conquering death and after His resurrection.
Most of your videos on this matter are misleading.
Besides, you cannot make jokes of everything.
Kindly desist from making videos on Confessions as much as you would not with some of the important Islamic values. I make a Divine appeal to you all.
I cannot stop you, No, but God can. May He do to you what He wills when you persist in making such videos that mar the image of the Confession.
Fr. Justus.
