In
what is perhaps the most strongly worded address of the Francis

“And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” Matthew 23:9 (KJV)EDITOR’S NOTE:
Pope Francis has amazingly written in a single letter everything you
need to know about the Vatican and the Roman Catholic system. Some
Catholic priests in Nigeria have decided to start thinking for

demands they worship the “holy mother”, and 3). tells them to write a
letter to beg his forgiveness or “suffer the consequences”. Think I’m

The Pope goes on to describe
the priests’ offense against the Church as a “mortal

manifesting “total obedience to the Pope.”
This act of rebellion goes beyond “tribalism,” Francis said, and is rather “an attempted taking of the vineyard of the Lord.”
The
Ahiara diocese has been embroiled in controversy ever since 2012, when
Pope Benedict XVI appointed Peter Okpaleke as its bishop, an appointment
that was reportedly opposed by “lay people and priests of the diocese.” [...]
