Cardinal Anthony Olubumi Okogie Replies Pastor Okotie

Cardinal Anthony Okogie has warned the Pastor of the
Household of God Church International, Chris Okotie, against
talking out of ignorance or else he will be disgraced very
soon.

Pastor Okotie, while criticising the Catholic Church in a
Sunday sermon, had said the church is "a counterfeit
church set up by Satan." He also said Catholics "bow to
idols and crucify Jesus every Sunday when they eat bread
claiming they are eating Jesus' body."

Okotie added: "They (Catholics) are not Christians and
have never been. They don't know Jesus. They believe
that when they eat bread on Sundays, they are eating the
body of Jesus. It's ritual."

In his reaction to Pastor Okotie's comment that "all Catholics
will go to hell", Cardinal Okogie said it is wrong for Okotie, a
55-year-old pastor, to speak on what he knew little or nothing
about
.
In a chat with Punch, Cardinal Okogie said, "It is always good
to talk on what you know, not on what you do not know. The
problem we have today is that a lot of people put their mouth
in what does not concern them because they want people to
know that they too are there; that they can be reckoned with.
"I don't think that is the way to do things, no. I think the best
thing is to always put your mouth where God puts it, if you
don't want to be disgraced."

You may wish to know that Pastor Okotie, who had divorced
two wives, recently bought a Rolls Royce 2014 worth N120m
to mark his 30 years as born-again Christian and 27 years as a
pastor.
