Bishop vs Priests

.....parishioners conduct mass as priests fail to show up

The feud between the resident Holy Ghost priests of St Martin of Tours Parish, Ihiala, Anambra State, and the leadership of Nnewi Diocese of the Catholic Church on Sunday reached its crescendo as the parishioners conducted the service themselves without the priests.

The priests, who were still in their residence in the parish, failed to come out to conduct the service on Sunday morning.

Their action, it was gathered, was in obedience to the directive of the Bishop.

Also, the diocesan priests allegedly posted to the parish were also not seen, hence, leading to the congregation conducting the service themselves without any presiding priest.

The Bishop of the Diocese, Most Reverend Jonas Benson Okoye, had last week withdrawn the faculty of the five resident priests in the parish and prohibited them from celebrating Mass in any church in Nnewi Diocese in the meantime.

According to one of the parishioners, “Everything normally done during Masses was done today, except the Eucharistic consecration, which is the sole function of a priest.

“Those for the 6am Mass were there and they celebrated it, likewise those for 8am and 10am Masses.

“All the readings for the day were taken and the prayers of the faithful were also taken.

“During the prayers of the faithful, all those who performed it prayed for God’s intervention in the crisis in our parish.”

News Express learnt that many parishioners of St Martin of Tours parish attended Masses in nearby parishes, even as they prayed for quick resolution of the crisis.
