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.

NFCS IN HISTORY

Nigeria Federation of Catholic Students (NFCS) is a body encompassing catholic students in all high institutions of learning. Its history can be traced back to 1920 when the idea of catholic students unionism came up; an internal catholic study union (ICSU) was created in swiss with George de Montenach as the president to deepen the urgency for reconciliation in a world torn apart by the first world war. During the late 1920s, the students society charged its President; Montenach, secretary; Max Gressly and father Tschunor to deepen the contacts with other student group, Dr. Gerald Brom, the then General Secretary of the Netherlands Catholic Association of Students responded quickly to this effort and a coalition of the students from three neutral countries during the war was created; Switzerland, Holland and Spain. Another chapter was created in early 1921 after a meeting between Max Gressly and Dr. Brom when it was decided to gather together the different associations of the student...

What killed Sam Okwaraji????

*The Untold Story Of what killed Samuel Okwaraji, the legendary Nigerian player who died while playing against India.* ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽ As I am writing this, I am struggling to plug a wall of emotions with a stoic face. General Kollington Ayinla’s Late Okwaraji which has filled my room with its sober and somber lines is not helping matters. Hmmm….there is no way one will tell the story of SAMUEL SOCHUKWUMA OKWARAJI without feeling the pain of the loss gnawing at your heart, and as your head swells with patriotic pride, your lacrimal glands conspire to betray you. For millions of Nigerians, the most fabled soccer player is none other than this gentleman. Many grew up listening to incredibly woven and mesmerizing story of how he gave up the ghost while Nigeria was playing against India. After Nigeria had defeated India by a world-record-breaking 99-0, and were on the verge of making it 100-0 and completing the humiliating defeat of t...
